 If this wasnt a joke its shows how powerful Hollywood is. |
Maybe he's young and doesn't know any better. Let us educate Mr. Brewer.
RonBrewer sir! Your assignment for the day is to research the REAL story of U-571 and report back here with your findings. We further suggest reading up on U-110 and U-505.
In all seriousness... I'm willing to bet that you will find facts to be far more interesting than fiction. We aren't giving you a hard time. It's just that when you find one diamond... you have to find another... and another. Next thing you know you are addicted and soak up everything about U-boats you can find, as fast as you can.
This forum is one place to learn quite a bit.
Check out these sites... you'll love'em.

Happy Times... your assignment is to tell me which is your favorite historic U-Boat as well sir.
Happy Hunting!
