<HTML>Here it is, and I will call it good enough!!!
Operation Drumbeat by Michael Gannon. Page 30.
As someone else has mentioned, the \"nightclub Sheherazade, which with its wandering violinists, soulful Russian music, and champagne for six marks, would quickly become the favorite Parisian hangout of U-boat officers from every base in France\", including Reinhard Hardegen.
Hardegen, in Paris, also watched the daily noontime German Guards Regiment parade from the Arc de Triomphe down the Champs-Elysees to the brass music of \"Preussens Glory\"---and with other U-boat officers he met in his hotel, would stroll in the evening \"through Montmartre, poking his heads into cabarets and bars.\"
This would seem to be the extent of my own reference abilities at this point...
Hope this helps.
