Very true BUT if they ever do make it a movie I hope & pray that they do it right! Otherwise, I'm perfectly happy with just this. Drach gives enough detail for my imagination to fill in the blanks. And the order to "splice the main brace" whenever a German U-boat goes down is a very gallant send off to the sailor's that didn't make it. And allowing the U-boat survivors to partake in the tradition, since it was the U-boat that they had been on & one being allowed to play an accordion too in my opinion shows the contrast of the difference between the 🇬🇧 Brits treatment of POW's & the German treatment of POW's. I'm sure that things weren't as pleasant for POW's once they made it to shore but after being depth charged & barely escaping a sinking U-boat, I believe that kindness after such an action shows a better sense of humanity. And I personally like that about the British!!!

Yes Drach, I don't really want your head to swell up real big, but THIS is the kinda stuff about your channel that I enjoy. I mean, I understand that sometimes you have a guest come on & you ask them questions and you get to learn from them while we all learn from them. But I enjoy the stories so much more when you have done the research, written the story & tell it in your own words. Whether it is a story about battles that happened or one of your many naval engineering stories. Your writing and narrative is what keeps me listening. And sometimes if it's been a while I'll go back & listen to stuff over again just to refresh my memory about that subject & to see if I may have missed something from the previous viewing. Such a sad thing about Walker being out there sinking submarines and he loses his son who was lost aboard a submarine. What a sad story for him & his wife. For any parents, to lose a child must be one of the worst things that we as humans can endure. My wife miscarried twice & then was diagnosed with terminal COPD and passed away 5 years later. And that totally broke my ❤. I have a daughter from a previous relationship but haven't seen her in over 20 years. But I do believe she is alive & well. I can't imagine what it would be like to lose a child. Even though he had grown to be an adult already it is a very sad affair when parents outlive their children. Which, in my eyes, is the very reason the USA didn't want to become involved with WW2! And then why there was such outrage at Pearl Harbor. It wasn't the fact that the Japanese sank & destroyed some of our Battleships, it was the fact that 1500+ sons would not be coming home & they sank our battleships in a sneaky attack without declaring war. We were going to make sure that they regretted ever attacking the United States of America!!!
