During the Battle of Britain, I was sitting east of Lowestoft, sinking any merchant tonnage which happened by.
First, I avoided a couple of Spitfires. They didn't see me.
Next I sank a schooner just for sounding like a bigger target on my sonar. Imagine my surprise when 2 JU-88s approach, circle the wreck and fly back to France. Did I steal their kill?
A few days later I'm charging my batteries, and a plane is spotted. It is a Stuka. I watch it through the binoculars and it makes an attack run on ME! Evidently, it was just practice since no bombs were dropped. His wingman didn't even bother with us.
Later that day nine, or thereabouts, He-111s approach and circle the burning wreck of a medium cargo ship, as I sailed back to my lair. Again, did I steal their kill? I certainly hope so.
