Not only that but your kitchen is standing still. The U-Boat's galley was often pitching and heeling depending on the sea state. I wonder how many hands and limbs got scalded or burned that way? :hmm: Yikes!

I even forgot about that!! Those cooks must have been a very special breed. And the crew could better keep him as a friend .
