Hello All

I understand that the VII's had no refrigeration onboard correct? So I was wondering about the movie Das Boot and in one scence where it shows the crew packing eggs along with other food stuff onboard the u-boat.

So how did the crew keep the food from spoiling while on such long patrols?

And would anyone know of a web site that might show the information (food) that was actually carried aboard these boats? I know it seems like a wierd? question but I love this useless type of information

Thanks !
