I’m sorry to disagree but I must. The story of the last Canadian ship being sunk is a story of almost total incompetence. Why don’t you watch it again. Almost uncountable unforgivable mistakes.

My father was the first officer on a corvette from the start of the war. He must have made many transits out of Halifax. I admired his calm confidence forged during the Battle of the Atlantic.

I guess those Luftwaffe officers weren't really on board with how the SS were doing things, but I do wonder what their exact motivation was for getting those POWs transferred from Buchenwald, and the thought process behind it.
@PaulTomblin2 ай бұрын
The Luftwaffe was the service most likely to have their own officers in Allied prison camps, so they wanted Allied POWs treated according to the Geneva Convention so that their prisoners in Allied prison camps would be treated as well.

It doesn't matter which way you look at it, Germany in WW2 could of won the battle with England if he had more U-Boats. The Eastern Front was a entirely different story.

More u boats and more planes in the beginning and they could have squashed Britain and focused solely on the eastern front

I don’t understand: was the Bridge actually notified of the ASDIC contact or not? If they were & replied: “Disregard”, well, that’s the deal - Captain McMillan responsible. A “small surface ship” shouldn’t have echo’d from underwater? Maybe the hull? I feel bad for all, wonderful, dedicated people trying their best - war is never “fair”…
