Completely out of control the submarine rose out of the ocean depths. Balz felt the deck plates pushing againstt he soles of his feet.
"Goooing up," Bernard said," Next floor tea cozies and captain's toys,"
"Captain's toys?" I'll buy you a Bernardniverous giant panda" .
The submarine broke surface and Balz raced to the bridge. He flung the hatch open snd heard the throaty rumble of an aircraft radial engine..
From the bridge, he watched the airplane fly away from the sub. "Ha. ha, you merkin fools- Only me, the great Balz can surface with such impunity."
The airplane kept flying away.
Seized by uncontrollable laughter, Balz fell and rolled on the bridge deck.
Lieutenant Werner Schnitzel grabbed Balz by the shoulder. "Herr Kaleun, get up, war is serious business."
"Ha, if war was serious business weżd wave our caps in friendly greeting at the enemy instead of shooting at each other. Man is more afraid in making new friends than meeting old enemies.".
