So there I was, waiting for the whistle to blow, when suddenly I was lit up by the cruiser's searchlights and got stonked good and proper. That was at about 8 a.m., September 3rd 1939. And as I and my doughty crew plummeted to Davy Jones's locker, I yelled out: "Fight fair, Englische Schweinehünde!"

Well, that's a game limitation. The war starts in SH3 at 12am on 3 September 1939. There's no hour precision.
But I can beat that. There I was, minding my own business quietly watching a convoy pass on 2 September 1939 when BLAM! an Escort came out of nowhere and sunk me. I didn't even *make* it to WWII.
And my God that Escort was good. He had super powers considering the date.
I dunno why this occurred, but I decided at that point that from then on I would lay low from 1 September 1939 just in case...
