“Heck of a way to go. It’s like knowing you gonna die.”

As a boy I read everything on WWII I could find.
One book had a section on submarines.
Some sailors volunteered for the pig boats because they figured they would either die or make it home safely. None of the maimed for life horror of surface ships.
Interesting what goes through peoples minds when making such decisions.

Your childhood is over the moment you realize you’re going to die.

We all die - every single one of us.
