Raiders of the Lost Ark has a controversy about how Indiana managed to survive the trip on the U-Boat.
Much of it seems to circle around how he survived being lashed to the periscope because even the Mediterranean Sea is cold enough to kill you after a few days.
I want to know how he went undiscovered since U-Boats are not capable of traveling submerged for more than a few hours before the batteries are depleted. They're really surface ships that can submerge; not like a modern nuclear boat or even a diesel electric.
The schnorkel was not invented in 1936, so they had to come up for air to run the diesels and charge the batteries. When they did, the watch would have noticed a stowaway, there just isn't anyplace to hide.
