Line-crossing ceremony
Today, September 5th 1943, at 1106 hours U-181 crossed the equator on her way to grid GR51.
The almost appropriate ceremonies were held. Stabsoberbootsmann Ludwig Timm as King Neptune, matrosenstabsobergefreiter Heinrich Schmidt as Davy Jones and matrose Bernard as Amphitrite. Unfortunately after the schnapps her Highness Amphitrite(Bernard) was keelhauled by the pollywogs.
