I have video footage of a u boat crew playing around in the wash, although still on deck. The boat is so low in the water that they are practically in the sea really. Its pretty funny footage. They are all butt naked and slipping around on the decks having a great time.

1 U-boat ace even died by breaking his neck while trying to dive into the sea for a swim.

That would be Rolf Muetzelberg, he dived off the conning tower and landed on one of the saddle tanks. The U-Boat apparntly was drifting sideways a little when he dived off.

little off topic from WWII to Vietnam...there were a number of of incidents where U.S. patrol craft crews when off duty went water sking. As for U-boat crews...im sure it happened at least once, cause it somewhat raises morale to have a break, and im sure it was probably down south, away from the english channel as that was by far the warmest waters.

Like already mentioned, they did swim when it was calm. Some even build hammocks to the deck and bathed in sun. I have a book with lots of photos of the crew just laying around the deck when off duty.

Yes they did, a U-boat captain was killed when he dove from the conning tower and slammed into the saddle tank head first.
