It says something about sailors of the U-Bootwaffe that they can, apprently, drink that stuff, rather than using it as axle grease.
Well, the Germans did invent and use Ballistol for rifle cleaning, shoe softening, wound treatment, and many other thing.
"Coffee" is the submarine version of this. (Tricks of the seasoned LI: A shot of "coffee" will make the engine run ~5% more rotations, but at a price.)
A minute's thought suggests that the very idea of this is stupid. A more detailed examination raises the possibility that it might be an answer to the question "how could the Germans win the war after the US gets involved?" - Captain Seafort, in a thread proposing a 1942 'D-Day' in Quiberon Bay

From Zenoobia, and legged it for Thanasia? ARe you, per chance a Leenser Cuss-egg who escaped the De-sacking?

Not to mention the Tragedy of Drau was in 1945. The Nikovs nicked off in 1917.
Which is about the time the Decossackification started. Since the Cossacks were a major force resisting the Revolution, the Communists made it a priority to get rid of them. Most cossacks had left Russia by 1920...
(So you might still make it there in time...IF you get out of this tin-can alive - gives you something to look forward to, right? )

You guys have no idea how hard it is for me to say this, but I think I'll have to shut this one down.
A serious RL opportunity has arisen for me, and unfortunately it means that I will no longer have the time to meaningfully pursue Das Thanasboot, as it requires 3-4 hours per play session to advance the game towards the next update.
It's painful, because I do get very attached to my LPs, and had hoped this would be the SECOND SD.net LP to actually finish. And while I very much hope it could be resurrected at some point in the future, I'm unable to commit to a concrete date. Since it would be unfair to leave you guys hanging, I've decided the best course of action is to simply shut it down.

A decision must be made in the life of every nation at the very moment when the grasp of the enemy is at its throat. Then, it seems that the only way to survive is to use the means of the enemy, to rest survival upon what is expedient, to look the other way. Well, the answer to that is 'survival as what'? A country isn't a rock. It's not an extension of one's self. It's what it stands for. It's what it stands for when standing for something is the most difficult! - Chief Judge Haywood
------------ My LPs
Yeah, its no problem. It was fun while it lasted, and I look forward to more crazy LP's in the future (not necessarily from you, since I realize there isn't time for that).
It's a shame, but you gotta do what you gotta do. Though if in the future you want to try to restart it, I'd still be interested.
Maybe I can try and write up some of my Failventures of the Poopboot as a substitute though. Eine abenteurliche Reise auf dem Boden der Nordsee... (because I hit fucking "crash dive" again)
