RE: The ship that refused to die!
Wow, that's a great story... well, assuming you were rooting for the US in it. That's funny that they gave the ship up for sunken twice and thereby miscalculated how many ships the US had left. Thanks for sharing the story.
No problem, glad you enjoyed it. Some stories are above nationality.
I have read of a suicide torpedo operator, that gave me a real view of the mindset of the Japanese in WWII. Very impressive Man, doing a difficult Job.
Another story was a Pilot who was an outsider; who ended up in the most advanced plane of the war, and was fighting for the Germans.
Exceptional people in tough times, rise to the top
:)Sounds like you have been researching a lot of interesting people. I would definitely say that being a suicide torpedo operator would be a "difficult job."
Hello, yes they were real Men, doing Hard jobs! Interesting viewpoints, I find it important to read things from both sides to understand the course of the war. There were terrible, and amazing things that combined to resolve the conflict.
I don't think I would like the job of steering a torpedo.
:)Poor retirement plan, for sure....
