I´ve heard of these and read something earlier
( U-977 ).

I wonder if anyone has more details on the celebrations the U-boat crews did during the crossing of the equator?

BTW, I read that there were 4 (?) different groups for the celebrations and the worst treatment was given to the 4th group?

Kai, I can remember Im sure??? Maybe not though, hence the question marks, seeing the equator crossing rituals on a U boatin word at war series.

Anyone else remember seeing it?

sounds like this should be answered by Herr Kaleun, but I will say I have some pics in several U-boat books as well as cine footage from the Deutsche Wochenschau
