Did you ever think about it?

After watching movies by Stabiz and footage from the real thing, etc. has anyone really thought about what the Germans were doing out there in the oceans? These guys were in a steel tube hundreds of mile from anywhere, including the bottom! There was no GPS or fast rescue boats. They depended on the compass and the stars to get where they were going. Talk about being out there on your own!! Next time you make the trip to the east coast in the game, stop in the middle of the Atlantic, go to outside view on the conning tower and just look at the expanse of water. This is what these guys had seen. Nothing but water and sky, while in a steel tube already over 1/2 sunk! It takes a large set of kahunas to do something like that in my view.
