Battle of the Atlantic on Military Channel Friday
 

There's a show called Battlefield: Battle of the Atlantic Part II tonite (Fri, Sep 30th) on the Military Channel at 1800 EST.

Part I was on last nite and was superb! It was pretty much step by step from before the war to around 1941/1942. Went through the major players, how u-boot crews were trained, the goals and strategies of the Axis and Allies, the equipment such as the VII/IX u-boots, Flower Corvette, Condor, Liberator and more. A whole section about the Graf Spree.

Almost constant historical footage is shown and a lot of details are included. Definately worth trying to catch.

Early next week there's a two part show about the Hood vs Bismarck as well! Can't wait!

Yeah, part one was pretty cool to watch. Now if we could get some of those real worls effects ingame, like steam clouds as a ship slips quickly beneath the waves, or to have real explosions when the boilers blowup, and water and debris go out in all directions.

I had a tanker start to explode as it sunk beneath the waves while I was evading escorts almost under her. Scared me half to death, I thought it was MASSIVE depth charging it was so loud. :)

Great great great documentary! :up:
