I know we argue against using Das Boot as any kind of reflection of reality, and rightfully so, but the idea of the bridge watch crew manning the planes and pumps while submerged only makes sense, as those were not manned while on the surface.

And remember, watch rotation applies to all crew members, not just the bridge lookout team.

Except the cook.

Speaking of the cook.
Would he not be a petty officer?

Correct, he would not.

The 'smutje' was usually a MtrGfr or MtrOGfr.

Also... the cook was probably an elite government agent tasked with secretly monitoring the actions of the Commander of the Boat.

oh wait.

im thinking of The Hunt for Red October.

Thank you. That question has been on my mind for ages.
