I am part of the lucky generation which was allowed to play with plastic soldiers and to build war models. This and many other factors fueled my general interest in WWII history.
When I was 11, I watched the Das Boot series on TV, although my mom wasn't too fond of it, if you remember the scene when the guy tells about how he peed on the back of a whore you'll know what she meant
- though she got me also the book.
Later, I had Silent Service on the C64, which I loved for its immersion factor. When I got Silent Hunter 3, just on release day, the game really got me. It was not before then that I wanted to learn more about submarine warfare and got myself tons of literature. However I got my mods from the german ubi forum, so I didn't land here. When Sh5 was to be released, I finally discovered this great community, and so here I am!

That was an unbelievable great game, thanks for reminding me of it. I will have to look for an emulator and play it again.
