NAZI FLAGS RAISED AT UNIVERSITY OF CAPE TOWN
Was it a Nazi Convention? Perhaps some students buggering around?
Or maybe someone was shooting a movie?
Whatever the reason, there were Nazi flags raised at UCT this weekend and no-one knows why.
Nazi flags spotted at U.C.T.
Quite a vibe.. This, just a month after the Nazi garden gnomes outcry in Germany – involving an artist who assembled 1,250 garden gnomes in Hitler-salute position at a Bavarian town square. Not very cool.
Do YOU know what was going on at the university this weekend?
Maybe there really WAS a Nazi convention?

There definitely was a film shoot at UCT over the weekend. There were signs up directing crew members to UCT on Saturday. Guess that would explain it.

Is that not the “New A.W.B” flag?

That would have been more fitting at Stellies, in front of any one of the buildings named after some Afrikaaner…

Without being at all disparaging, UCT would make a good set for a Nazi movie (especially over a quiet weekend). Period architecture and building size to approximate Berlin (or maybe Berchtesgaden).
I know it’s still illegal to display a swastika in Germany (even the Wolfenstein game was pulled).
Seth, you’ll have to find out about the movie – I’d love to see it.

Below more information,
On Sept 12, 1942 at 2207 hours U-156 under the command of Kptlt. Werner Hartenstein torpedoed a large target in the South Atlantic in position 05.05S, 11.38W. The large vessel was the British liner Laconia (19,695 tons) which sank at 2323 hours. The liner was carrying a 136-man crew, some 80 civilians, military material and personnel (268 men) and approx. 1800 Italian prisoners of war with 160 Polish soldiers on guard.
Shortly after the sinking the crew of U-156 was amazed to hear Italian voices in the sea amongst the people both in lifeboats and also struggling in the water itself. Hartenstein immediately began rescue operations and radioed for assistance, both from nearby U-boats and also sent out un coded messages to every vessel around to assist, promising to cease hostilities.
On Sept 16, at 1125 hours an American B-24 Liberator bomber operating from the Ascension Island arrived at the scene where its pilot spotted the boats (which at that time flew the Red Cross flag and were clearly not hostile to anyone). The pilot radioed back to his base asking for instructions and was told to attack at once which he did at 1232 hours, forcing the U-boats to cut the lines to the life boats and submerge immediately, leaving hundreds of people again struggling in the water.
Kindest Regards,
J.P.

Now you’ve got me reading…(and doing no work) al la vibe.
Even more interesting appears to be the fact that U-156 was joining Wolfpack Eisbär (Polar Bear) conducting operations off Cape Town. Hectique!

I met the chick, Hillary something, that was writing the screenplay on the plane. Can’t remember much else though because there was me, some italian-south african guy and that chick (english I think) and we got totally trashed on the plane…
