That happened in the sub that left Germany at the end of the war and made for Brazil. A guy was caught stealing chocolate IIRC. He was dressed down in front of the crew, and confined to quarters. The harshest part of his punishment was that the crew ignored him for several weeks. Solitary confinement is amongst the most severe punishments, which is effectively was this guy got. Perhaps even more severe because there weren't any bars in his "prison", the other crewmembers willfully ignored him.
Apparently after that, he apologized sincerely and became a model sailor for the rest of the voyage.
And man, these rotating pictures (with post count) are getting nasty. Is this my punishment for posting too much?
