I have no recollection of the crewmen saying "Morning" to each other!? Was it still in port or on sea? I will watch the movie again and pay attention to it. I guess it was a joke between German sailors to say morning, because they "feared" the English and tried to learn English. Also, just for the record, German sailors don't say "Morgen", but "Moin".

Enough of German lessons from me
