Hey pollhead or whatever
It is now believed that Prien was NOT SUNK by the hms walker It is believed the he fired as eel at the walker and it malfunctioned and came back at him sinking the GREAT U 47 with all hands. These men were the BEST of the BEST

No-it undoubtedly HAD BEEN a suicide mission because he was about to take on all the capital ships that had been berthed there.Now gone, Prien saw immediately he could get away with it.

HMS Walker was still credited with the kill, and i doubt that will change

Quite a sailor he was , this Gunther Prien. He killed my mom's first cousin on the Royal Oak yet many in my family admire his skill , his audacity and his unquestioned bravery Albainn Gu Brath
Was the Scapa Flow the same place where German Empire's fleet surrended in 1918
the last ww1 veteran who died in 2010 was there in that time ^^

Well, he surely was. Going into Scapa Flow was quite a suicide operation even with the sloppy british defence of the harbor in 1939.
Accepting this mission requiered iron nerves....and a considerable amount of impudence ! ;-)
