Hi, Gerhard !
If you've seen "Das Boot" miniseries on TV, you remember perhaps the scene where IWO ( Groth) is shaving in the toilets when some other crew members are waiting for more day-to-day physical needs...If my memory is good, one character, Obersteuermann Kriechbaum,shakes the door with following statement :"Only one toilet for fifty men, and,in addition,we have a queer onboard"
Shaving policy when disembarking was not so mandatory, and there is one picture of KK Kentrat, back from Far East patrol, lunching with his superiors with a beard of extraordinary length.
Good night.
