where comes the music from? Battle for England (film) or am I wrong?

[elswick1542]

@jeanmaxkortex no you are right music is the Luftwaffe theme from the 1969 film The battle of Britain.

When "Wilhelm Gustloff" was torpedoed, only the people on upper decks could escape. They succeeded in letting down some life boats but failed in rescuing the 12000 refugees, mostly women with their children. In last moment Captain Petersen jumped into the water and was picked up be life boat. He never got over the shame, ended similar like Ismay.

@robinhood48 Same version but according to the BBC he fell into the life boat! Italians driving cars are a bit scary 100,000t ships lethal.

@elswick1542

Latest over here is captain entered life boat to have better chance to coordinate emergency measures.

When the Italian navy surrendered to GB, betraying Germany by abandoning the Axis Treaty, the Brits received the capitulation by sending a destroyer. Seems they were right until today.

@robinhood48 Latest version of the story here,the captain sailed close to the Island so he could wave at a Friend! it can not be true.........?

[robinhood48]

@elswick1542

Depends.

If you sail with Italian cruise follow the captain and crew to find the boats.

[elswick1542]

@robinhood48 Yes that's the boat,I have a depth of 950ft+so near enough 300m.

Another problem with modern cruise ships! if your power fails go to the boats!

@elswick1542

Tiesenhausen, the Barham killer?

Agree to that underwater sonar thing, a problem could be the limited horizontal range. But they will find something, that´s for sure.

@robinhood48 Read an article a few years ago. When Goodall the Naval construction director for most of WW2 was shown around U-570 he could not understand why the frames were so light but the hull was so thick IIR the designers used a calculation developed for high pressure boilers. Think 800m possible 600m no problem,think it was U-331 that dived to 300m, Back in the 60,s Leander class frigates had a sonar that could be lowered below the cold layers maybe time for a comeback.
