Okay, so in an early screenshot you see your crew on the forward deck by the deck gun, looking up at a large merchant with MP-40 in hand. Then there's this icon, as revealed by the Menu Editor:

Clearly there were initially plans for making your crewmen arm themselves, don't know for what purpose. Maybe there existed a feature that let players stop and seize enemy shipping, not that this was, to my knowledge, something u-boats did very often

.

Maybe it's something you can do when taking supplies from milk cows, just in case the cow is a captured boat full of US marines. But then there'd also need to be a "Set Enigma on fire" command

...

An old dream of mine is to approach a ship while surfaced, only to take fire not from deck guns, but from rifles, automatic weapons and rocket launchers wielded by the crew. Don't know how historically correct it'd be for this to happen, but would be cool to see in the case of resistance forces or whatnot.
