How many of you put 'Von' in your captains name?
I do , my wife pointed out how sad it was tonight, I don't care !
|
Silent Hunter 4 had the best, their default captain name for the U-Boat missions was Bernard von Unfal. Bernard of Misfortune. :)
|
Guilty, sh3, sh4. :oops:
|
Guilty as charged sir:salute:
|
Guilty also :oops:
In fairness, if i leave a few letters out of my christian name then add von and leave my surname as-is, the name kinda sounds like i came from a french/german background (that's my excuse anyways :P ) |
I use "Captain von Trapp", the guy in "The Sound of Music" never escaped and was put in a U-boat.
|
I used "Von Anus" for one captain. :oops:
|
von or not von
:DL I usually do use von :salute:
|
Come to think of it...
I have never used "von" in a name on any SH series |
"Von" was historically used to distinguish nobility. Since most U-boat men were from working class families, the "Von" preposition would have been very infrequent for a U-boat man to have. So I don't use it.
How's that for rivet counting? |
LOL - guilty!
|
Always have, ever since I was a little kid. And be damned anyone who therefore thinks that I'm a Nazi glorifying romanticist sypathiser. :D

My listing of 42,002 U-boat crewmen* shows that 235 were "vons", ranging from the humble Mtr through to GenAdm (ie von Friedeburg). In all, 64 vons were enlisted men, the remainder 171 were officers. This includes three von Barons (of which two were enlisted) Now, how's that for rivet counting? :O::D *Courtesy of www.ubootwaffe.net |
Not guilty.
I use my own name! More realism for me. |
