No shower, no bath, except for the few boats with improvised bathing equipment (using hot water from the engines), and the boats sent to the tropics that could let crewmen bathe in the ocean. With the daily water ration, face & hand washing was possible. In the vast majority of U-boats, everyone just stank to high heaven.
