Having fun in Logonna
After a long and hard patrol, an U-boater has the right for a return celebration. Also the hard time between the patrols, if no holiday was possible, need some pleasure possibilities.
We have purchased the manor house of Logonna to give our crews the possibility
to relax and have fun.

Our service crew in preparation for a return dinner. From the left: Mireille and Barbara, our waitresses (and nothing else, so keep your fingers away!) Karl Reitmüller, our cook, always having deliciuos snacks prepared, if someone falls in. Jochen Puttkammer, first steward and very known in bringing "tired" sailors to their rooms. |
"Jubel, Trubel, Heiterkeit!" The crew of U-116, Obltn. Hoffmann is celebrating her return from their first succesfull patrol. We are offering a full load of beer, german and local drinks, french and german wines and of course non-alcoholics (but they are not often asked). Prices are low and even if a sailor runs out of money, there will be always someone around offering him a beer. |

"Spanferkel am Spieß" is the speciality of our cook. Notify the manor-house in the background with it's camouflgae painting. (A great idea of the Standortkommandeur of Brest) No allied pilot will wonder where the road ends and their archives will not have the disappeared manor-house logged. |
Ready or not, we'll start! The porkling is not offered every day. But U-boaters find very easy a reason for celebrating. |
