One interesting sentence from one of the pages. :hmm:
" Later at Narvik I asked one of the pilots whom we had fished out of the soup what he preferred - attacks with his plane through artillery and shrapnel fire or a depth charge attack on a U-Boat. He only laughed and patted my shoulder....
"If my plane is disabled,” he said, “I still can bail out with my parachute. If your sub is disabled and your engines sputter, and your last compressed air is used up - you’ve had it and you die like a damn rat.”
