I m gonna change the question... if you were german and living in the time of WWII would you join the uboat forces?
No way. I know they did a useful job for germany, and I m not calling them coward, we all know the statistic about going back home, but still... they were hunting merchant, trying to avoid warship. It was not the most honorable way to serve their country. Maybe, sometimes I will dream I was serving on Bismarck or Tirpitz, or in a Me109 or FW190 or even in a mighty Tiger. I will always respect submariner of german uboat, they were marching to their death, and they did it knowing about it. I do respect that. Still, they were doing one of the more nasty soldier job... even SS had a better civilian/military killed ratio...
