Part IV:

Wilhem "Willy" Wonke, Chief engineer of U-36. An aspiring singer, Wonke had plans to persue a career in the opera after the war. Sadly, this did not come to pass as Wonke would later be transferred to the cursed U-666 which was lost with all hands while on a top secret mission to Greenland.

A stylized tulip with red stem and green bulb adorned the conning tower of U-36. The boat's crew were nicknamed "Der Ausschuss Kinder" due to the crew being composed mainly of underperforming naval academy grads and derelicts with disciplinary issues. Nevertheless, U-36 would make history.

RIP, Willy!

The creepy thing is that they don't know how U-666 sunk.

That is creepy! I totally pulled the story outta my behind. I thought, "heh, heh, U-666! No one would believe it!"

Thing is when these start showing up, it's generally time to cut back on the rum.

If I saw the Flying Dutchman or whatever that ghost ship was, I would immediately make my rum ration a lot bigger.

Ah The Flying Dutchman makes another appearance. The U-666 must be nearby, as the sight of this phantom ship is a portent of doom.

It's not very authentic though.....she missed the iceberg and ran over the whale

I like that you have the right number of funnels smoking. How many movies couldn't get that right?

Well spotted sir....the aft funnel was where the passengers pets were located/kennelled and also served to house some engine room and kitchen uptakes IIRC.
