There was a lot of publicity, the past weeks, for Stefan Krah's M4 project to break three Kriegsmarine Enigma messages. Reading a secret message, send from a U-boat is very appealing to all of us. In all the excitement, we should not forget what lies beneath that message. If you get deeper into the message, the terrible story of naval warfare surfaces. Wo has sent the message? What happened to the people on that U-boat? What was their faith? For more details on Kapitainleutnant Looks and his crew, read the story of U-264. You think the movie 'Das Boot' was cool? Well, than read this one! Compared to U-264, Das Boot was a vacation trip!
