Default re: location of pennant line

It seems youve hit the nail right on the head with this one, because after watching some actual footage of a u-boat returning to a French port (not sure which port) from patrol, I noticed that the pennants were indeed strung from the the raised periscope to the wintergarten rail. The periscope mast was used as a sort of "flag raiser" in this respect. Which is cool.
Whatever though, even an historically inaccurate "pennant jackstaff" with the correct pennants would be better than nothing at all.
