When you're on your shakedown cruise, and running some manual targeting trials, and for some reason a torpedo accidentally leaves it's tube and connects with the Bismark in an orgy of fire and destruction, Bernhard was on the button.

When you're playing tag with a destroyer, accidentally order "Return to course" and your once silent sub shudders into life and roars away at ahead standard, it's Bernhard with his foot on the pedal, a dopey grin on his face, whooping and hollering while you're screaming "NO NO NO NO NO... Aww HELL!".

Bernard must of been on the deck gun onch when we encounterd a spannish passenger/cargo and we acidently opened up on it, luckly me and the watch office managed to get the gun crew to cease fire before we cause any fatal damage.

I had less luck. Bernard was firing on an torpedoboat at Wilhelmshafen because he didn't heard the "cease fire" order. So he might have though "Oh the Tommies have german Patrol boats now" because it was really far away (maybe 250 meters) he hit it two times and i was like "Please don't sink!! DON'T SINK!!!" and it sunk.....

This 'Bernard' you speak of sounds like quite the promising young chap. Perhaps he should be put in charge of his own boat...

He was, briefly. Coincidentally, Wilhelmshavn burned to the ground during the same time period.

Since the end of the war he's been working in the canned drinks industry.

Only if the crew didn't raid the drinks cabinet

Bernard was on the Moltke's fore 11" gun and sank an american merchant on our raid on Halifax on our 8th patrol in late 1940, I then put him on the Moltke's aft turret and ended up sinking a american modern tanker.

I let Bernard fire a torpedo once.

Luckily we had time to get most our crew off the boat before it circled around.
