In this ironic, hilarious, and
poignant story, Otto
Prohaska is a
submarine captain
serving the almost-landlocked Austro-Hungarian Empire. He faces a host of
unlikely circumstances, from petrol
poisoning to exploding lavatories to trigger-happy Turks. All signs point to the total collapse of the bloated empire he serves, but Otto refuses to abandon the Habsburgs in their hour of need.
