Doenitz seeing 'the flying Dutchman'?

hi all,

I just read in some book about ghosts, that Grossadmiral Karl Doenitz saw 'the flying Dutchman' (similar encounter that King George V saw in 1881) while he was a junior officer on a U Boat during WWI, supposedly from his diary. Are there any sources for this tale? thanks in advance,

K

I never heard that story before. It was quite clever of Dönitz not to tell anybody else than his diary. Otherwise he would never been promoted to Großadmiral.

Then he may have avoided 10 years in Spandau too...
