He then made the CRITICAL mistake of mentioning he was the (step) son of the owner of a plantation owner..."the bosses' son" and seemed to be very proud of that. Given that most Germans had recently survived a grueling depression just before the war started (6 million unemployed) he didn't exactly enamour himself with the other officers.

Ah....so that's what that scene was about....what was the music that they had played right then, and how did it fit in?
I had noticed that in a couple of scenes, he was in the background reading to another crewmember, and it did sound a bit ....propagandish.... |
Not sure about the music. Do you mean the Tipparary song, when all the crew started to sing? If so, that is a British navy song. At a later meal (I think) the captain asks the First officer to put it on the grammaphone. That was to "rib" him as he would be the one to find and play it...being the upright Nazi he was it would bother him to do so.
Yea..I noticed the propaganda stuff too.
