Question about a particular emblem

Hi, i was just interested what the words "Hau-Zua" mean

its the emblem for U-256, which i believe was commanded by Heinrich Lehmann-Willenbrock for a short time

you can see the emblem here: http://www.uboataces.com/ref-insignia20.shtml

i'd appreciate it if someone could tell me what it means, thanks

It means as much as:

Hit it!

Strike it!

HAU = strike
ZUA = it or here
