Good article this, thanks. I did this only this morning using OH. I managed to get in through the front door, Brits drinking tea again. I managed a suface attack at night, I would not have tried this normally but I was running out of time and decided to risk all, made it with only three hours to spare. I had to dive a couple of times to get out of the way of destroyers, exciting stuff, last time I enjoyed this was SH3 I believe.
I spent a bit of time later, reading up on Prien and his lads, dam those guys had some guts. I cannot help thinking where I would have been on this boat if I had been there, engin room I recon. How would I have dealt with the tension over the hours this raid must have taken. I am surprised no one has made a movie of this event.
My hearty thanks go to the men who put open horizons together for this mission.
