It's Krieg, not Kreig.
Krieg = war
Kreig = ? (doesn't exist)
I'm not German, I don't speak German, I do not read German, so obviously, I probably don't know how to spell it either. You can sue me if you like, I'll just smile instead.

Like i said, I understand every sub theater has its fans. For most who are REALLY into the atlantic theater and Uboats, glossing over the politics of the day is common, if not understandable, and often get upset when attaching the word "nazi" to "Uboat" in most any context. However, one can get upset all they want, but it doesn't change history.
