(mods, feel free to move this if it's not in the right place. I thought it would especially appeal to the SH3 crowd)

I was reading Time Magazine's archives for fun and I came across this feature article on Gunther Prien's attack on Scapa Flow from 1939. Note that he still thinks he'd hit the Repulse (and not the Pegasus as he actually did) Neat to see a contemporary view on it!

Very nice! My local University library has an original copy of his book. Unfortunately I don't read German...:oops:

Always fascinating to see a bit of history from the perspective of those who are not looking at events in hindsight. Thanks!:up:
