Hey thanks for that. Only caught last nights episode so I will catch up on the others later.
And I had no idea about the St Laurance river operation.
Good show huh?

I too did not know about the attacks in the Lawrence River. Makes sense, as like said the U-boats would just wait for ships to come to them, and not them hunting ships.

Hey Zilch, try this link and copy and paste the 4OD link in the bottom of the page. It will route you through a UK proxy server so 4OD will think you're in the UK. I can't guarantee it'll work but I used to use the same method for watching certain NBC stuff in the US.

EDIT: Scrap that, using proxy the 4OD site can't detect your javascript or flash so won't run. Ah well, sorry.

Nah, its that odd creation made for the movie U-571, in the film its supposed to be an american s-class mocked up to look like a type 7. In reality i think they built it from scratch as it would have been criminal to ruin a real s-class sub. Interiors were those used in the movie too.
