Lindemann's purpose, deeply impressed by the fate of many airmen, who ditched in the ocean during the second world war (as well as ship crews from torpedoed vessels, of course), was to investigate how a person might go about surviving that kind of ordeal. Peter Schwierzke (KlepperWest) sells copies. Peter is the man responsible for the production of the most recent translated English edition, by the way.
