<HTML>And as a footnote, according to former U-boat man Peter Petersen, a popular tune for the crews was one that went something like....\"Now we jump into the foaming bier, because U-_ _ _ has its ass on the pier...\"

Much later on, after the war, he discovered the USA has apparently borrowed the same musical tune, with much different words, called \"Stars and Stripes Forever\"...a patriotic song for the US.

I\'ve seen films of German bands playing this tune, familiar to us Americans, and it\'s quite startling...

:)

Best again,
