The Rose of Doom (BALZ)

"Hoffman, get your headphones back on, don´t listen to this twit. And you Bernard, get back to composing the complaint letter to Winston Churchill."

LMAO

I was looking for my underwear earlier. I guess I don't need to anymore....

NOTE: I can.t believe how time has flown.

In the last episode we left Balz with a corvette coming fast as U-321 was lolling about at PD.

"Alaaarm," Balz shouted. He then grabbed Bernard and tossed him into the forward torpedo room as ballast.

The depth gauge indicated thirty meters when depth charges exploded all around.

The boat shook.
Balz sighed, relieved no damage was reported.

Three hours later, the corvette abandoned the hunt. After reloading torpedoes, Balz ordered, "Surface." He needed to catch up with the heavily escorted convoy and sink the other fat tanker in it. He also decided, the only way to get rid of Bernard was to recomend him for a command.
"Bernard," Balz said, "I am recommending you for a command. Go to the bridge and act as a captain."

Topside, it was already dark. To make sure the lookouts were awake, every few minutes Bernard shone his flashlight into their eyes.

Balz was coming out of the hatch when a shell droned over head. "What was that?" Balz asked.
"I don´t think it was a dancing penguin," Bernard answered.
"Who is shooting, give me a bearing!" Balz bellowed.
"Ship in the water," Herr Kaleun, Bernard wailed in a duet with another shell.
"Bernard, you stay on watch, everyone else clear the bridge."




Will Balz's devilish maneuver to get rid of Bernard succeed? Stay tuned to find out

Judging by the size of his brain (and therefore head) compared to the rest of the boat, no.

"I don´t think it was a dancing penguin," Bernard answered.

But wouldn't it be awesome if it was?

Oh dear

For a few seconds, Balz lingered on the bridge until he spotted the ship firing at them. "The Corvette of Doom," He said and jumped down the hatch.

Cookie was inside the conning tower ready to close the hatch.
Balz heard the hatch slam shut. "Bwa, ha,ha,ha," He broke into uncontrollable laughter and fell into the Zentralle. It was hard to give orders with the air knocked out of him. He managed to say " hu, hu, hu,"
"The choir took his cue and began singing the Ho hu hu hoochie woochie.
Cookie tightened the weel when he heard a voice outside.
"Knock, knock," the voice said.
"Who´s there?" Cookie answered.
"I am the top Banana."
"Ach ja, we need bananas." Cookie opened the hatch. Water and Bernard poured in.
Bernard fell on top of balz. "Thank you for softening my fall, Herr Kaleun.
"Hu, hu, hu."Balz said.
Bernard thought it might be a good idea to get out of Balz's sight.
Balz recovered his powerful voice. "Choir, switch to silent singing. The rest of you begin silent running."
Those not in the choir began to trot in in place, quietly.
"where is that cretin Bernard?"
"He is in the back disguised as a farting banana."
Balz started aft.
His murderous intent was interrupted by depth charge explosions. The Corvette of Doom was right on top of them.



Will the haunting Corvette of Doom be Balz's undoing? Stay tuned for another gripping episode of the titanic struggle in the Atlantic.
