U-BOATS ARE SHORT OF CREWS
An admission that the Ger- man Naval Command is com- pelled to rush raw crows into U-boats was broadcast on the Berlin radio recently.
A remarkable story was told by ratings and officers of a submarine which had returned to its honic port.
"Our crews are continually chang- ing," said the captain. "Mind you, don't think that so many fresh men on board is a handicap when
comes to the actual fighting."
The omeer in charge, of the con- trol-room said: "There are always apprentices sailing with us.**
"An Experience"
The third officer admitted: "This is my first voyage against the enemy. Previously I was in a school boat.
"Without much preparation I was commissioned for a trip against the enemy. It was an experience, I must say."
Only the navigating officer called himself "an old U-boat hand." Ho had already made 12 voyages.
The radio operator disclosed that they could not always maintain con- tnet with the German naval trans- mitters.
"There are technical hitches, you know," he said. "One has one's worries."
A rating sald of his parents: "They have their sad hours, believe me. We are five brothers, all in the forces, three of us in the navy,"
Worse Now
The gunner said: "We must be economical with our torpedoes. Whenever possible we try to use our guns instend.".
The officer in charge of the con- trol-room poke again: "We have lo be in a perpetual slate of porodness. Now it is even worse, because the nights are so short

And finally, the commander of the Qummat home port who had wel- comed this U-boat back said: "The Preturi. of this ship" fills me with bat- ticular joy,The crew will be trans- ferred to other abmarines.GAR
