The life of a German submarine
sailor was a series of restrictions.
He climbed from his narrow iron
bunk in the morning to bump into
the bunk across the aisle. He
squeezed down the narrow passage
way to the tiny Mushroom. He
ambled a little further along to an
other small compartment, where the
cook bends over a square electric
cooking range with a cooking sur
face about 80 inches square on top
and a small oven below.
He probably returned to his bunk
to eat his ration, for there is no
dining room. Perhaps he went back
to the torpedo or mine room, where
there is a small open floor space
about 10 by feet.
Or, if the submarine happened to
be running on the surface, he
climbed up the narrow steel ladder
through the hatch Ca manhole with
a water-tight lid to the deck.
Then, if he were an engineers
helper, he worked in a narrow aisle
between two sets of Dissel engines.
If he were in the torpedo crew he
would sweat under a constellation of
steel-caged electric bulbs in long
low-ceilinged compartment on the
lowest deck of the boat. He entered
through a manhole in the wall,
squeezed down an aisle between
two rows of torpedo racks to the
tube ends, where he had a small
free space.
