Re the Type vii book, page 17.  The photo shows a close up of the mount for the cannon but whats the stuff infront of it?  It looks like Donitz's personal stash of hash and crack, but I bet it isnt.  I have google translated the text and this isn't mentioned.

Will you two stop messing about it is a well known fact that this is how the crew of the type vii did their laundry throw it in a lobster with some Daz-boot pot strapped to the deck dive to 20 fathoms carry out evasive maneuvers for 30 mins rinse at 10 fathoms then hang out on the snort to dry I thought evrybody knew that %% :-))
