    Otto Kretschmer was only in combat from September 1939 until March 1941 but was Germany's highest-scoring U-boat commander, sinking forty-seven ships. This definitive work details his personal story and the political backdrop from his earliest days. 
     
     
     
    After completing his officer training and time on the training ship Niobe, he served aboard the light cruiser Emden. In December 1934, he was transferred to the light cruiser Köln, then in January 1936 made the move to the fledgling U-boat service. During the Spanish Civil War, Kretschmer was involved in several patrols as part of the international non-intervention force. 
     
     
     
    He demonstrated a cool approach to combat: his mantra "one torpedo for one ship" proved that the best way for his boat to succeed against a convoy was to remain surfaced as much as possible, penetrating the convoy and using the boat's high speed and small silhouette to avoid retaliation. 
     
     
     
    His nickname "Silent Otto" referred to his ability to remain undetected and his reluctance to provide the regular radio reports required by Dönitz. Alongside his military skill was a character that remained rooted in the traditions of the Prussian military.

    Abraham Lincoln’s early years were marked by hardship, poverty, and a relentless drive to rise above his circumstances. Born in a one-room log cabin in Kentucky in 1809, Lincoln experienced the difficulties of frontier life. His family moved frequently, and his formal education was limited to less than a year’s worth of school. Yet, even in these early years, he developed a deep curiosity and love for learning. He read whatever books he could find, often borrowing them from neighbors, and was known to read by firelight late into the night. This hunger for knowledge became a central part of his identity and would later feed into his political ambitions. 
    Lincoln’s entry into politics began in Illinois, where he settled in the town of New Salem. There, he earned a reputation for honesty, storytelling, and a sharp intellect. He first ran for the state legislature in 1832 and lost, but he tried again two years later and won. As a member of the Illinois State Legislature, he began to develop his political skills and established a clear stance on important issues such as internal improvements and economic development. He aligned himself with the Whig Party, inspired by Henry Clay’s vision of a strong national economy. During this time, Lincoln also began to study law, teaching himself the subject and eventually becoming a successful lawyer in Springfield, where he built a respectable career and deepened his connections. 
    Though he was gaining traction in law and state politics, Lincoln’s ambition reached further. He served a single term in the U.S. House of Representatives in the late 1840s, during which he opposed the Mexican-American War and supported internal improvements. However, his criticism of the war was unpopular, and after his term, he faded from national politics for a while. Yet, Lincoln was far from finished. The moral and political debate over slavery rekindled his interest in national affairs.

    What if the most powerful man in data surveillance wasn’t a government agent—but a former drug smuggler with a genius for code?
     
    The Hank Show unravels the incredible true story of Hank Asher, a self-invented tech visionary whose fingerprints helped shape the world of digital surveillance.
