His crew (all English defectors), did not like his German methods of leadership. After a few days of laying down new rules, enforcing them strictly, and allowing the crewmen barely a minute off, he saw several derogatory posters about him taped around the craft. Calling for his first officer, he said: "First Officer, I demand zat ze u-boat be scoured, and every one of zese posters be taken down! Make sure you find who did it and report back to me so zey can be punished!" “Yes of course Captain. I’ll find out who did it, and punish them immediately!” After a few days of questioning crewmen, the first officer was unable to find the perpetrator. Soon after, the posters of the captain reappeared. The captain, becoming increasingly angry, ordered their removal for a second time. After a second round of questioning and poster removal, all was silent for a few days. Then the posters began to reappear. "First Officer!" the captain roared "You are evidently not doing your job, ze posters are back all over ze u-boat, even worse zan before!"
The first officer fired back at the captain. "It's not my fault sir! It's just that everything is always reposted several times on this sub!" "even this fucking joke."
