Not only that but your kitchen is standing still. The U-Boat's galley was often pitching and heeling depending on the sea state. I wonder how many hands and limbs got scalded or burned that way? :hmm: Yikes!

I even forgot about that!! Those cooks must have been a very special breed. And the crew could better keep him as a friend .

On the subject of galleys, I've always been curious about this. There were four water taps above the galley sink. From left to right in English: Washing water; filtered drinking water; warm salt water; and fresh drinking water.

What was washing water? Water with suds? Or just recycled water for washing purposes?
