Nein! My name is Heinrich Reitz and I've just cried like a nurse on u-boot departure (or return...?): it's March 1943 and I've just stumbled onto a Canadian Schooner! Friends, belive me, there is nothing like a sailing ship (and a u-boot)! My tears of joy and waves made me use the zweiling instead of the slow firing 37mm. Too bad the BDu does not allow to tow such a nice thing to base, it would be wonderful to have it on that small lake near my mountain cabin, sinking it, winching it out, patching it up, sinking it again and again and again! *sob*
BTW, Polish submarine ORP Wilk (Wolf), IIRC, once found a British barrage baloon out on the sea, tied it to the bow and continued to base. The story goes, a tug signalled them 'Since when submarines feel the urge to fly?'
