IN BEFORE THE LOCK

TO each thier own guys ....peace. ITS A FREAKIN GAME.

Duc... I respect you bunches bud... but I would say the very fact that one is enjoying playing a NAZI U BOAT captain in and of itself can be construed as glorifying that time period. Or like I look at it, those men were doing thier jobs.

Sure the Uboatmen got excited when they sank a cargo ship. They got excited because they were doing what they thought was thier part to win a war for thier country. Just like soliders and sailors on our side did.

My father in law... god rest his soul... was a Merchant Marine during WWII. He had two boats shot out from under him. One of which he lost his nephew that was on the same boat as him. He never forgave himself. The stories he had of hearing buzz bombs go over his ship heading to London, or the stories of how 100's of periscopes appeared in the channel on one trip (they were all wooden and set afloat by the germans for psychological warfare, and also to hide the one or two Uboats in the middle of them) were scarry and interesting.

Point is I play this game as I love history. I love subs. I love the bravery exhibited by all sides. I like to play Wagner and German March music on my gramaphone (as well as forbidden Jazz) to immerse me into my game. But by all means that does NOT mean I believe in Nazism or idolize it.

I idolize the brave men and women on both sides.
