Obscure Das Boot trivia question

Hi Guys,

I was just watching Das Boot and I noticed something that sounds just like background communication but might be an ironic and sad point to this great story. Just after the night club scene the Captain, Werner and the Chief are walking throught the sub pen towards their boat. On the PA an announcement is made "Chief Engineer of U-96, you have a phone call from Germany". I'm wondering if this is a phone call from the Chief's sick wife that he missed in the confusion. It's presented so subtlely that I was'nt sure if that was the case or not. If so it makes this story tug at the heart strings even more... (I like the Chief and feel for the guy)
