Brizil: is it realy nutral

[jasonsagert]

I'm currently in the middle of a patrol in the July '41. I've been patroling off of gibralter--actually just north of the canary islands. I've ran into 3 different lone Brazil steamers and one tanker. Also one portugues ship. Brazil is neutral until mid '42 I think.

Anyway, talk about a disapointment--finding a ship, working an intercept, and then when I'm in the perfect firing position I'm close enough to see that it's a neutral . My crew is getting pretty sick of it. Hell, I almost blasted the last Brazillian ship just out of frustration.

Brazil joins the Allies in late 1942 (November I think). Untill then it's 'out of limits'

Try being stationed off Norway in 1939. There are a lot of Norwegians there. I once posted in a patrol report that I was starting to feel like a Norwegian traffic cop. Then finally a ship came along that wasn't neutral.

He was German.
