Gerdan, can you please translate this for me. This fellow was killed in Le Havre harbour during a massive bombing of the S-boat bunkers in June 1944. I see references to S-boats and Le Havre but most of the rest is beyond my ability to figure out. Thanks for your help.

Unless it was nighttime, or the weather was bad, and you were running out of gas - then it was a sweaty nightmare, like a monkey f*ing a skunk.
