"I don't think about her at all. Why should I? What did you say her name was again?"
--Lothar Bungheim, on (then) up and coming pop singer Nina Hagen

Part III:





Klaus Dingle, the unfortunately named navigator of U-36 avoids the the intrusive gaze of Bungheim's Leica. In the background, Chief Engineer Wilhelm Wonke gives him a sympathetic glance.



A hapless merchant meets a firey doom from one of U-36's many torpedoes (nicknamed "eels"). Sadly, many more ships would echo her fate.



The Torpedo Data Computer or TDC: This diabolical contraption, responsible for the tracking of targets and the guidance of torpeoes to said targets, was also capable of staggering mathematical feats. It could do long division in minutes and multiply several columns of numbers in under an hour and was only technologically inferior to the computer that powered Hitler's robotic battle armor.



Johann Kunn, 1st Watch Officer, U-36

End of Part III
