Actually, there is a reason the crew manned the 2cm flak gun. It was to ensure no drunk waving a Webley around would wipe out the deck gun crew. That is the same reason why some U-boats even had MG-34s and 42s on the conning tower, not to mention fire support in the form of the U-boats MP-40s. While all this was enough to cover the crew if they were firing at a small merchant, it would have in no way been sufficient to tackle a destroyer or even an armed tugboat.
The most retarded way I died was trying to take a sortcut over land.....did not work!
