During the events of The Twilight Zone: Season 1 Episode 10 Judgement Night played by Ben Wright
In 1942, Captain Wilbur walks into the dining room and takes a seat at a table. He tells the others that the fog outside is very thick and there is no sign of the convoy. Major Devereaux worries about them being caught by the German Wolf Packs, but Lanser says the Wolf Packs should only target convoys. Jerry Potter would rather be attacked by a battleship than something he cannot see and Lanser reassures him that they would see the submarine as it surfaced to attack them. Captain Wilbur tells Lanser that he sounds like a U-Boat commander and Lanser drops his coffee cup. Captain Wilbur starts asking everyone where they are from and Lanser says he is from Germany. Barbara Stanley asks him how long he was in England, and he excuses himself from the table. Later, Captain Wilbur asks to see Lanser's passport, but Lanser doesn't have it with him. The First Officer asks him to bring it to them later and his passport wasn't on the manifest. Lanser leaves and Captain Wilbur tells the First Officer to have 2nd Steward be sent to Lanser's cabin. Captain Wilbur calls down to the engine room and asks McLeod for more speed. McLeod tells him the engines needed an overhaul months ago. Captain Wilbur tells the First Officer if they reduce speed to save the engines then they will be an easy target, and if they speed up, the engines will break down. At 1:15, Lanser starts yelling that they must abandon ship. The ship is attacked by a U-Boat and all the personnel and passengers are killed.
