We can not forget a couple of points. Hitler tied Doenitz hands....limited production, taking the boats for other ventures. Also, the shipbuilding far out exceeded what the U-boats could sink and the implemention of great ASW all equaled failure in the u-boat war Doenitz had hoped for.

what's a girl?

AAAAALAAAAAAAARRRRMMMMM !!!!!!:rotfl:

No. Not under any circumstances.

For one, i dont speak german.

For two, I'm not german

For three, i would never be a traitor to my country, not now, not then, not ever.



If anything, i would tell the allies the history of things to come and what they should develop to put the uboat war to a quicker closer.

Don't get out much do ya fella?

haha...belive me....I get out enough to know what a girl is.....especially ONE girl, eh know what I mean, know what I mean, nudge nudge, know what I mean say no more!

I voted yes for the reason if your in the "armed forces" at the time of outbreak of war I doubt if you could just quit (germany 39) do your your duty for your country etc.

My answer's over on page x.

How very odd; I distinctly remember the answer I gave.

Anyway, I voted YES, absolutely, with the caveat that I would love to have served on a US boat in the Pacific. After all, I grew up thinking of the Germans and Japanese as the "Bad Guys".

No way.

And there's no such thing like 'time machine', BTW. Let's face reality. :D

My grandparents were enough. No need for another boy of the family to enter that *business*.
:gulp:

:o

Mein Komaraden...!...?

Yet another Necro-thread.

Hell freakin' NO !! I'm clausterphobic in my apartment ! When my friend, Herb was serving on the USS San Juan, he took me on board and gave me a tour when they were docked in Groton. That was a 688i... and THAT was way to clausterphobic for me and that thing has WAY more space than a Uboat had. Heck.. just looking at the bunks with their foot and a half clearance between them was enough to make me feel jittery. The only room I wasn't clausterphobic in was the torpedo room in the front (Then he sat me down in the fireing room in front of that and I couldn't move). It was funny though. Herb got in a little bit of trouble for giving me the tour while he was wearing shorts (It wasn't a planned tour.. he had just planned to go to the base for something and I and his wife happened to be with him. I had never even seen a sub close up so he decided to take me aboard and show me around.)

Yeah I might just go and sink some boats. Besides if you where in the war what place was safe anyways?
