Damned dishonourable things. Not the weapon of a gentleman at all.

Indeed. Sneaky and underhanded. No coincidence the Hun favored them, eh?

Cowardly, goose-stepping, bullet-headed goons, your Boche. They certainly don't like it up them.

Step 1. Sink

The german for submarine is undersea boat.

But a boat is something that floats.
