	: ''All officers and men including the Personnel Reserve of the 9th Flotilla are quartered in a group of buildings, known as the Stutzpunkt (Base) on the site of the old cycle track in the Kerebecam district. The sketch plan of the base shows the arrangement of the buildings which were originally designed by the French for a sanitarium. They were completed by he Germans and occupied in the latter part of 1942. Commuting between the U-boat shelter and the base is by motor bus following the Rue de Siam. Just north of the Place de la Liberté, known to the Germans as the Theater Platz, is the main gate to the Base. Inside the wall the first building to the left contains the living quarters of the flotilla commander and visiting officers. In another building to the right are housed the officers of the Personnel Reserve and a unit of the guard. Behind these buildings lies the long curved 4-story Haus Endrass in the left end of which is located the canteen, and the Mess for officers and men; the Personnel Reserve occupy other parts of the building. The main driveway goes under Haus Endrass to reach the large and small air raid shelters, behind which are the crew headquarters in Haus Gilardone, the flotilla officers' quarters and the administrative offices in Haus Jürst. Up the hill inside the rear wall are the swimming pool and the athletic field. Outside the rear wall are storage facilities for gasoline and materials used by the [https://de.metapedia.org/wiki/Organisation_Todt Organization Todt]. All is apparently not heel-clicking formality at this most luxurious of all German U-boat posts. A juvenile, buccaneering spirit seems to animate the personnel from top to bottom and is evidently considered essential to morale. The door of each administrative office is adorned with a cartoon. The Flotilla Commander, Korvettenkapitän Lehmann-Willenbrock is pictured reaching out a welcoming hand to an incoming U-boat; the Kapitan beim Stab, Kapitänleutnant Wein, the Disciplinary Officer, is shown towering over and threatening punishment to a diminutive sailor; the administrative officer Kapitänleutnant Festner is portrayed handing out pay from a bag of gold; the records officer, Oberleutnant Festner, with his cap on the back of his head, is sweating over a pile of papers. The canteen, far more popular with the men than any of the cafes in town, is a colorful spot. It carries a selection of French silk stockings and lingerie at prices that have a great appeal to the men returning on leave to their rationed home land. Liquor, wine and beer flow freely, so freely in fact that the glass windows had to be replaced with an unbreakable material.
