DVD of interview of Wilhem Grap on his U-Boat service. He was on a U-boat that actually entered the Mississippi River! Hear it from the mouth of one who was there. Available as DVD 64 from Sharkhunters International at www.sharkhunters.com. Yesterday's enemies are today's friends.
Amazing movie, I just watched it last week, ordered it from Amazon.com
I never knew one went up the Mississippi.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I recall in the movie that 40,000 German soldiers manned the U Boats, and 30,000 never returned. It would have been horrifying to have been on one of those things with depth charges being lobbed at it.
Good lord, this is the first time the "We can either fight them over there or we'll have to fight them over here" people have been right since Xerxes.
"I am not one of those weak-spirited, sappy Americans who want to be liked by all the people around them. I dont care if people hate my guts; I assume most of them do. The important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it." - William S Burroughs
