Loved the movie Das Boot. I’d rather have been a soldier on Iwo Jima or a crew member on a B-17 over Germany than be on a submarine. My Father was on a destroyer (USS Perkins) in the Pacific during WWII. I went on a WW II destroyer in Boston. I could not believe how small they were. Those people had balls.
