Them Jerries should really put translations on all the levers/dials/buttons in their submarines in case we ever have to take control.

It was because of that real-life incident in U-571, all of the US Navy had to carry a German dictionary and travel guide on all ships, because of the "Keitel Incident."

So when the Navy captured the U-505, they were prepared.

Boarding crew: "The text, it's all in German still!

"
Crewman #2: "Fetch the dictionary!"
Crewman #1: Guten Tag. Wieviel kostet ein Bier?

Because we really had a boarding crew go to sea on a disguised S-boat. We had said S-boat sail all the way to the middle of the Atlantic. (I assume they had to switch out all the torpedoes with gas tanks) and we boarded the U-571. After we had meticulously planned out the boarding of U-571 by a disguised S-boat using German speaking American crews, we forgot that darn dictionary....and when we came back later and got the U-505, the U-boat STILL had everything in German. Still!!! Man. Won't the Germans learn?

Damn that stuck up quartermaster...

I'm surprised they even found the North Atlantic. The COB didn't even know the proper signal for "Dive".
