As was apparently the case from time to time on the long U-boat missions? From a review of Battle Beneath the Waves : "We also get a glimpse of the snafus that plagued the German forces just as surely as they did the Allies, when we learn that most of one crew came down with scurvy during a long mission because they were mistakenly supplied with a much smaller quantity of vitamin tablets than their health required."

KorvettanKapitän Kentrat after his longest patrol of the war-225 days-hardly profitable IMHO-only two ships sunk...he looks decidedly malnourished here.
