Personal information
Willy Ohlenburg, possibly someone elevated from the enlisted ranks to officer status during the war, did not belong to Crew 34 as is often claimed. He may have been belatedly attached to the Crew for mere administrative purposes by the Navys personnel office, but he did neither share the common training experience of the Crews regular members nor did he participate in any Crew events, such as reunions after the war. Regular Crew 34 members would not have claimed him as one of their own, nor would he have claimed to be one of them.
