And I agree 100% with Sailor Steve, you simply have not seen Das Boot until you watch the 5 hour version. That is how it was meant to be seen and that is how you can truly be sucked into the adventure.

Next time drive HWY99 it runs through Sac town, Stockton, Mo town, Ceres, Merced, all the way runs to Bakersfield.

It's lemon juice and condensed milk. In the book Bucheim describes the different ways the officers have of consuming lemons, needed for vitamin C to prevent scurvy. One squeezes the juice into a cup and adds lots of sugar, the Chief dumps sugar into his mouth and bites into the lemon wedges, and of course the 2WO has his "coctail". It isn't mentioned out loud in the movie, but if you watch closely you can see the different actors actually eating the lemons in the manner described. It's a small thing, but it adds a lot if you've read the book.

I did notice all of the lemon eating. I had wondered "why lemons?" But now I know. Thanks!

Ah, lemon juice and milk. That's not so bad. That's actually how you fake buttermilk in cooking if you don't have any and the recipe calls for it.
