[Rolf Eschke]

Hello Together !

Is it Realistic,that the Gunners and Watch Crew are wearing Helmets during an Attack when the Sub is Surfaced ?

At battle stations on the surface everyone would have vests and helmets... especially gun crews.

Then you're right.

Was wartime practice.

It's simple: When battle surface was ordered, the crew wasn't wasting any time to get up the deck a.s.a.p. Anything on their body that might delay this thrown out. So vests and helmets...bye bye.

And yes, unfortunately some crewmembers were washed over board and alas drowned because of this practice.
