Norm, those fellows didn't even know what dirt and grime was until they had spent some time in the bush with Lettow-Vorbeck's crowd.

Well, That is downright interesting. Another thing for me to dig into on the net. I am quite interested in how, if at all, they were able to utilize deck guns in guerilla [sic] warfare. The ammo would be a logistic nightmare that maybe only German ingenuity could manipulate.
I must add, however, that my brother, Machinist Mate 2nd class (he actually made 1st class--twice) in WWII got his hands dirty often on his ship--specially on Dec 9th '41 and for some time there after as his repair ship arrived in Pearl Harbor. |
