I wouldn't go, no chance. One mistake and you were dead. the food was crap, the air stank of BO and diesel. They were stuffy hot cramped submersible tin cans.
Risk of death was very high, I like living, U-boats are just not a good idea for you due to their being very hazardous to your life expectancy. |

First of Ash's rule:
Never trust a woman when she told you she's pretty. Second of Ash's rule: Never trust someone who is telling you she/he's a woman on the internet. |

I voted no way……………. But there is a part in me that wonder what I would have done by then. But even back then the young guys joining up to go off to war didn’t really have any idea on what the war was going to be like for them.
I know we had a little trouble with those British back in the 1700’s but they do have that grit in them that seems to get them thru a lot of crap. “butter you up” …………..now me heart is pounding……..maybe a little too fast.. I have to go sit down for a little while ![]()
