Bernard is back!

Gotta love UBI for including a joke like that ... it won't mean a thing to most people but it'll put a smile on subsimmers faces.

I always want to name my German captainsafter Karl Heinrich, Graf von Altberg-Ehrenstein, Lieutenant-Commander in the Imperial German Navy from H.P. Lovecraft's submarine short story "The Temple". Unfortunately there aren't enough characters for that.

Short story can be found HERE if anyone is interested.

i think on the US side "Bernard" was called "private Snafu"

I like 'Private Snafu', but your comment makes it sound like there was a Bernard on the German side. there wasn't - he was invented just three short years ago.

Did the Germans actually have a cartoon character who was a regular screw-up?

Nope, the Germans didn't made anything like that. It would give a picture that Aryans actually screws up sometimes, but thats inpossible. No true aryan would make mistakes, or fail on anything.

Thats why

Yaaa! Get's my vote! Snafu's much better sounding than Dinsdale Fubar.

Nobody ever "agreed" on anything. Some pushed one, some pushed another. Buncha pushers.
