The Untold Story of WWII Submariners | The Color of War
As WWII raged across Europe and the Pacific, one branch of the U.S. military went quietly about its business, moving with such secrecy that it was dubbed the "Silent Service". The elite submarine sailors endured an unique type of battle--with little chance of escape if disaster struck, the submarine itself often became a steel coffin. WWII comes alive through a moving tapestry of letters, diaries, color film and photographs unearthed from archives and personal collections.

Thanks. My dad was a WWII submariner. Lied about his age to volunteer. At the war's end, he and a couple of shipmates found all trains, buses and planes fully booked for the next few weeks with military wanting to get home ASAP. They grabbed a cab, told him they wanted to go to Minnesota, Illinois and Michigan. God Bless the cabbie for saying, "Let’s go!"
ReplyDeleteI watch a lot of films like this one. They fill me with pride, saddness and anger at the enemy. Never will I forget the sacrifice of these brave men.
