Kapitänleutnant Johann Mohr, CO of U-124 |
Cake prepared by the crew of U-124 for their CO Kapitänleutnant Johann Mohr - The inscription, which is a play on the CO's name, reads "The Mohr has done his duty". It is a line from a proverb by Friedrich Schiller. Mohr is a very old german name for African people. The entire line reads 'The mohr had done his duty - the mohr can go". Donitz sent this signal to Mohr when he reported his sinkings at the end of a successful patrol. |
