oops!

Hi folks, have looked in vain on the E&T website for an electronic copy of a current article I wanted to wave under your noses, and which appears in this months hard copy of the magazine. It is to do with a certain U-Boat kapitan who needed to go to the loo while the sub ( Type VIIC U-1206) was submerged - and succeeded in sinking the boat when he 'pulled the chain'. I found it an interesting and funny account, though Kapitan Karl-Adolph Schlitte may not have seen the humour. Do you know anything about this event please?
