Lieutenant-Commander Werner Nobis

Any information about Lieutenant-Commander Werner Nobis rescued by the British destroyer Maori? Will Berthold mentions this man in his book "The Sinking of the Bismarck" but I can't find any information about him anywhere.

Lieutenant-Commander Werner Nobis is a fictitious character just like many others in this book. However, real Bismarck crewmembers such as Lieutenant-Commander Junack, Leading Seaman Rzonca, and the wounded Luettich are mentioned too.

Thank you José Mª. It is strange for me that the author mentions real and fictitious men in the same book. Why doing that?
