very nice sir. now you have to recall some numbers, maybe this "Marx" guy had a name, remember that I live in Poland and we don't have letter "x"-but such a clever guy like you should find a substitution for it...

yes!(hmm, my english sux).We are talking about a convoy-"sometimes" convoys were attacked by some nasty little boats called u-b....This is step one. Step 2 is almost done-"x" in poland does not exist so find two letters that will not change the pronunciation only the spelling. Step 3=step1+step 2. Step 4:my hint:the crews were at the begining very affraid of "someone's sister"(it is not perfect word but it refers to something that you name by "she"[although not resembling a woman])Later on they knew that "the sister" is eel.(upps, ill).

ok, it seems there will be no answer so PQ-17 is what I wanted to see.

How does PQ connect with Karl Marx, exactly?

And I'm guessing you were referring to them being afraid of the Tirpitz, Bismarck's sister ship
