Obviously common sense did not rule.
Was there a crack the hatch opening position?
Spin the wheel and the dogs release part way. Or spin the wheel too far and the dogs are completely disengaged.
I have been very curious about this, as people being ejected was not an uncommon happening.
I guess those ejected were a bit excited, seeing that the U-boat was under attack and sinking.
