Axis scientists have apparently made a break-through in time travel. Needless to say there's a nuclear-powered Type XXI waiting for you at the dock when you return.
Whoops, sorry, I think I stole that one. You can rest assured that it works perfectly, however.

Heheh. If the Germans could bring back technology from the future they'd probably toss a few ICBMS and call it a day.


BTW that's one detailed convoy report. Tinned goods, corn, Worcestershire sauce....no wait...WORCESTERSHIRE...thought they were sending BdU the ship's menu for a moment.

Well, it isn't as if convoy sailing dates were totally random. B-Dienst did identify the sailing dates of some convoys, and Donitz directed U-boats to intercept. I don't have my copy of Blair's Hitler's U-Boat War on me right now, but I'm certain that this did occur on more than one occasion.

If you tuck in the word "due" after "Liverpool" it makes sense....doesn't it?

The reason Australia and other nations locked up foriegn nationals was some (albeit very very few) actually were spies. The message could have come from the port of departure for the price of a couple of beers in Woolloomooloo pub and then been radioed in.

The Sydney in the convoy report is located in Nova Scotia. However, I'm sure the beers part still applies tho.
