what?....yourgrandfather served on a u-boat?

Aye.. he did. On two, to be precise. The first (U-990, Type VIIC) got bombed and sunk by a Liberator, and the second (U-2512, Type XXI) got scuttled when the war ended.

wow....i cant imagine having more meaning to the game than it already has to me.....but hell......salute
