war is hell
Hi Shipmates, At sea was in many a german port, allways had a good time never any talk of the 2nd world war, Must have been a thing that young germans did not want to know about? Germany lost many thousands of young men and many citys were bombed to the ground by the R.A.F and the U.S.A. War is what happens when a mad man wants to take over the world. I can understand how many people still feel about that time, As my next door neighbour hated the Japanese with good reason.

German Engineers
Germans were and still are good engineers.
