I've only seen them in action once. Sick of patrolling, I snuck into Plymouth harbour. Having a look around with the periscope, I noticed a Luftwaffe formation approaching the port! I decided to sit back and watch the fireworks. Maybe they would even sink the destroyer anchored there so I could lay waste to the several merchants docked.

They swooped in, attacked and sank two fishing boats then returned, victorious, to France.

I hope someone gave them a medal for that.

I cut the (ragged-edged!) bottom from a can of beans and hung it on their necks with razor wire. Damn flyboys.

Especially so for sinking two fishing boats!

Gotta keep the little fishes safe!

For all of the Luftwaffe's failings, they always stayed true to their goal of helping to make Europe more environmentally friendly.

LOL

I bet the Luftwaffe is doing THIS, while the Kriegsmarine is at sea.

We'll just have to sabotage their chairs, then... where is my screwdriver, Bernard?

Don't jest, it's not as easy as it looks. Takes years of practice...

Oh you might get a lot of trouble if the fatty Hermann falls on the ground.

Of course, what do you think they've been doing all these years?

Maybe that's why he and his men generally leave us alone, and refuse to do all that much patrolling around our bases or the seas nearby? They're afraid that he'll smash through a sub pen like a Lancaster's "Grand Slam" bomb.
