[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ocala Mike: [QB] Good one, cubzo. Now that this thread has gone completely astray, I may as well add to the fun. Yes, Italian sailors love fine cuisine. It seems that WWII Italian submarines (yes, there were quite a few of them) were built with enormous conning towers that were really more like bridges. It also seems that the commander and his staff liked to eat their meals up there instead of down under the deck with the rest of the crew. The first thing the German Navy made them do was reduce the size of the conning towers on the whole fleet and put an end to that practice. Another change the Germans made was to order Italian sub commanders to cease trying to rescue survivors from their kills at sea. Germans, unlike the kind-hearted Italians, routinely massacred any survivors in the water. [/QB][/QUOTE]
