I went into Iceland in 1939. a NUTRAL port. I went to periscope depth in U-74 at 20Km out, and eased in looking for some targets. No luck. A lovely Large US Tanker and some Finland Tramp Steamers.
So since I didnt fire anything, and Im in a nutral port I decided to surface and head out to the Milchcow ship off Greenland. I surfaced next to a Finland ASW Trawler. I recieved no reaction from this ship, so I felt sure I was safe in this Nutral port.
However ( isnt there allways a however ) as Im exiting about 60Kms out a Finland fast patrol boat starts fireing on me!!!!!!
Im down to 18% hull before I can get my butt underwater and extracted.
Just a warning here guys. Dont trust the Finnlanders
