THAT is unbelievable - and believable too....

the people who did that sort of thing were brave beyond imaginable.

i think my only form of sabotague would be to not sweep up very well or dont empty the bins - drop litter, that sort of thing.

that example is really shocking - my god, you would test everything before heading out to sea. and then the thought of 'well, im probably not coming back anyway...'

The Germans eventually introduced a tagging system whereby individual shipyard workers were made responsible for groups of workers or specific repairs.
Whilst this reduced the number of bouts of sabotage, it still resulted in numerous executions when a boat suddenly returned unexpectedly and reported faults.
