Sailor Steve,

Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad you liked it. I had a lot of fun doing it.

My choice of the pic of Ilse Werner was by chance. Originally I had a pic of Marlene Dietrich, but my German teacher friend (VMI Class of 1993) reminded me that she had crossed the powers that be in Germany, so I decided to go with another actress. I did some digging and found a website of German actors and actresses from the period. I liked Werner's looks and clicked on her bio. When I saw she was in a u-boat movie, I knew she was the one to include.

Werner was banned from acting by the Allies after the war for her work in German film during the war, but had a comeback later in life. She passed away in 2005 in Germany.
