Must you leave

The same could be said for fighting with the mighty Luftwaffe in IL2-46 Sturmovik, in the end you loose.

Now put that context into real life [history]

Your a young U-boat Captain; its 1945 and only a hand full of U-boats are left and everyone of you classmates and friend who you have met during your career are either dead or have never been heard from again.

You get a message that your superior wants to see you; you have prior knowledge [rumour] that you have been tasked to continue to take the fight to the British & Americans.

You get your orders and you brief your officers only; as you know your NCOs with be shocked to know that Hitler is persisting with the lost cause;

Its the night before you leave...........you sit in your room studying photos of your mates who are gone...............this is a lost cause..........................but my crew will look to me for leadership.......I must be steadfast.

Your wife walks in and says "Must you leave? this is a lost cause; Germany is alone ; must you go?..................

What shall you say?
What would your fallen mates say?
