From Kptlt. J.S. Balz
Lorient, 24 November 1940
Thank you for the gratulierungs and the future beer.
I've been thinking about getting a larger boat, one with better acoustics for the choir. But all BDU offered me was a lousy, stinking IXB. not really suitable for the world's greatest submariner. While we rest I still conduct choir practice. We are preparing a Christmas programme: Heilige Hoochie Woochie, The Three wise Hoochies, Sinking on Christmas Day Samba are in the programme.
