This is a light OT, but...

Well, there was an accident: in 1943 polish destroyer ORP "Orkan" rescued survivors from U-459. Germans thought that they were rescued by portuguese destroyer. One of german officer said:

- Thank You very much, I'm very pleased that this portuguese ship...
- No sir, You are wrong - Orkan's officer replied - this is a POLISH destroyer.

And do you know what happened? A german crewmember jump out into the water. Ship turn back and started to search him, but he was lost.

Do you know why he jump out? Because he was SCARED. Yes, he was really SCARED. He was scared, because he surely known what Germans did in Poland with polish people. 6.000.000 of polish WWII victims is the best testimony.
