See, that is why I LOVE this board. You guys (or gals) know so much fascinating stuff. I'm a bit of a history buff, especially war history so this is really cool to ask and find out. That's crazy those guys would suffer through such conditions in reality. I can't imagine how cold and miserable that was.
So the stock GWX is actual war footage? That's VERY cool. Anyone care to comment where that was found? Actual footage like that really interests me.
Definitely going to check out Das Boot too.
Go get "Operation Drumbeat" excellent read!!! I got a copy off Amazon for $9.00. Amongst other great books on the boats!
