            I have no idea what U-Boot that is, but it looks like the crew is having bear meat for dinner.

                It's from the bundesarchiv (obviously) and it's bild 101I-506-B0098-21A.
                I'm useless at searching German language sites, maybe pm tarek to search around the Bundesarchiv site?
                Here's the sequence

                          From another forum, some suggested captions for that same photo you posted, DragoonGuard:

                          1. The crew was jubliant! Another ton added to their record!

                          2. The smiles all round quickly turned to frustration for the crew aboard U-boat 345, the flea infestation from their prized trophy soon forced the Kreigmarine to scuttle the boat.

                          3. The OSS agent inside the polar bear costume had gotten away with swimming up to the sub ... but then gave the game away by queueing up in its mess for some strudel ...

                          4. After expending all their torpedos and deck gun ammo, the U-Boat crew was finally able to sink the Soviet bear that had bedeviled them for the past day.

                          5. How much can a polar bear? About three magazines of Schmeisser rounds, apparently ...

                          6. Vat ee4z dees badge around ze bear's neck? Ze DHARMA Initiative? Vat ees dees?

                            The boat is U-601. I posted photo on my web page at facebook, My Dolphins, and got this reply: German U-boot, type VIIC U-601, 13th Flotilla, based at Trondheim, Norway. This photo was taken off Bear Island, in the Arctic, on 1st September 1943.
