My uncle was in the infantry and was doing what he was told, he was later a POW in Russia and is lucky to have lived! Yes I AM proud of him! Not the country he fought for at that time! You are the one that proudly stated how quiet the submarine diesel engines were. I am sure that they never sank any civilian ships or killed innocent merchant seamen!germanrc10gt wrote:hi slotcarrod,
