Unfortunately they have been removed, but Dowly's very first post that started this thread had a picture of the Chief crouching and holding the pole in the control room. The planesman right behind him made it look like the Chief had one leg wrapped around the pole. The caption said "Herr Kaleun, Bernard is dancing on the pole again!"
In time this developed into Bernard being the guy we blame for our own mistakes. Run yourself aground? "Don't let Bernard take the wheel!"
And so on.
This spread so far that SH4 1.5 U-boat Add-Ons has the default captains name as "Bernard von Umfal."
