This is the image of U-1206 used in the article but U-1206 was a type VII.
If this is a type VII then I need to start revising my ship recognition.

lmao i remember this on QI, it was the captain who had messed up the procedure to flushing the toilet. rummer has it he did a bad one and rather than calling the seaman/officer who knows how to flush it he had a go at it himself and got the order wrong. silly kaluen
 edit: "Captain Karl-Adolf Schlitt was forced to surface the U-1206 on April 14 1945, after the on-board toilet malfunctioned. It is believed that a member of the 50 strong crew accidentally opened the wrong valve when attempting to flush the toilet, flooding the vessel's batteries and causing a leak of toxic chlorine gas" at least they didn't say it was actually the captain lol save him the embarrassment of sinking his own uboat with a type 2 torpedo.... if you know what i mean edit 2: skip to 7:20 Last edited by Maceaciadh; 08-15-12 at 10:43 AM. |
