Smidsy,

Are you going to next post a thread extoling the virtues of the merchant seamen, passengers and so on that died as a result of those German U boats?

no, next thread is dedicated to the men of the US destroyer fleet. but i will do merchants after that (i will include merchants of all sides.) this is the first in a series of threads to put a human face on axis and allied forces alike.

My grandfather was a Captain of a ship for lend-lease program. It’s a good thing he didn’t met those ‘brave man’...

Smidsy the problem with this thread is that you did not add more pictures from the allied/soviet side. Now people see this as pro-nazi comemoration.
Of all the "Werhrmacht" (Armed Forces) branch, the Luftwaffe is getting the most fanfare... thanks to WWII flight sim games

i see your point. my idea was to humanize people who are generally seen as villans. but i suppose i could curve the thread. unfortunately, google has failed me on this. so if you can find any good photos of american, brittish, french, italian, japanese, etc. submarine crews then please post them.
