"Where the hell is he going?"
"Due south....straight for the African coastline."


"ALL THE POWER YOU'VE GOT CHIEF!! ALL THE POWER YOU'VE GOT!!"

Damn I love that sequence :up:

But of course the Gib scene is about the only scene the director stated that it was completely :damn:

:lol:

today is the anniversery of u124's sinking of the duenedin good read about it on uboat.net :rock:

You might want to hug the North African coast a little more? And time your run to avoid the more predictable patrol routines?

It's a lively and tiny stretch of water, to which we are not invited!

Good luck, Kapitan, and Happy Landings on the other side!

U-124 is my favorite U-Boat. Hence my username... :know: (AG are my initials). 124 is actually my "lucky number" now, even though I don't believe in stuff like that. :rotfl:

A good book on U-124 is Grey Wolf, Grey Sea by E. B. Gasaway (it also has an introduction by Admiral Doenitz). It has recently been reissued. :) Here is a Amazon.ca link (top) and an Amazon.com link (bottom):

We're still a bit shaken up. We approached under cover of night and heavy fog, carefully using combinations of surfacing and batteries. Ran smack into what must have been a convergence of inbound and outbound convoys and an absolute Destroyer fest. Took out two C3's, turned around and got the heck out.

I could not believe the traffic there.
