Hello to all
; a small complement ..................
Provisions aboard a U Boat.
Food conditions on board U-Boats seem on the whole to be exceedingly good. Translation of a document captured from "U 70" showing the menu for 42 days is given in Appendix I. Survivors from "U 100," which had also come from Germany, stated that the food supplied to U-boats was of the very best. Fresh fruit, oranges, lemons and apples were liberally supplied for the crew. n the other hand a medical report on the survivors of "U 99," which had come from Lorient and had been at sea for 24 days when she was sunk, indicated that the food was not so good as in the other two U-Boats. Hence the quality deteriorated fast toward the end of patrol.....................
