Re: Topside stowage of perishable food on U-boats

Maybe a bit on the side, but apparently there was at least one incident where a U-Boat crew operating in the atlantic had shot a big animal (can't remember if it was a polar-bear or a raindeer). The animal was lashed on deck, but as it happened, they were forced to dive without being able to secure it. However, it didn't disappear and as the sub resurfaced it was prepared. It turned out the high water-pressure had done wonders in terms of tenderizing the meat.
