Actual in Doenitz book...he took pride in the the fact that MOST of his Uboat commanders and sailors did NOT belong to or were forced to subscribe to the traditions of the Nazi party.

In fact after Hitlers attempted assassination at the Wolfs Lair, Hitler made the decree that ALL military must salute him with the Nazi salute or be considered for treason. Adm. Doenitz got into a rather heated discussion with Hitler and demanded that HIS KM be allowed to maintain the traditional salute (which looks like our American Military salute) because they earned it with their lives everytime they went out on a U-boat.
