    A possible reason it took so long for the rescue ships to reach USS Borie: Those other ships were moving in another direction, while escorting merchant vessels. They had to turn around and redo all that travel. All while dodging enemy vessels.

      Also escort carriers were pretty slow.

      Oh, that makes sense. I sort of thought they'd been around the same location that they'd been in before. I hadn't considered they might have gone further away.

      They were a hunter group, not escorting, but yes, they had moved further away on their sub hunting mission. Just not escorting. ​@ChuckHuffmaster

    They weren't completely out of depth charges. The malfunction dropped all of the charges that were loaded at the time. They would've had a large amount on board since their entire job was to hunt subs.

    Pretending to surrender only to attack the enemy when they drop their guard is called "perfidy", and it is a war crime.

    20:14 I didn’t think about it until you said so… maybe when he said they detonated all of their depth charges he meant the ones they loaded to start dumping out…
    I’m guessing they have like a line of them or something that they release at intervals so they naturally spread out instead of clumping together and clacking against each other and causing them to detonate.

    Unfortunately some of the consequence of keeping secret that the Enigma code had been cracked was NOT reacting to quite a lot of the information. Obviously if you did so the Germans would figure out that somehow you HAD cracked that code. One notable result of this was the bombing of Coventry in the UK, the plans for the raid were intercepted by the code breakers, they knew it was going to happen and when but they did not do anything other than what they would normally do to stop it. The result being quite a lot of Coventry was flattened and many people died.

    One of the reasons they kept going back for survivors despite the fact that the germans kept fake surrendering is that they had to, Leaving men to drown or start to death at sea is technically a war crime :p (I THINK)

    May I say that not all German soldiers in ww2 were part of that group that was in charge at that time many of them were men that were being forced or didn’t know anything besides that group in charge and there for joined because they had no idea so that’s why fat electrician says German all the time and not the name of the group also it was mainly the officers that were forcing them to shoot up star clusters like that not the men themselves because I believe there was a maximum of 3 officers per submarine I could be wrong about that though

      Fair enough. Still, the people in charge of actually doing those bait and switch maneuvers with the whole pretending to surrender thing acted REALLY shady. I'd be annoyed if it went the other way too, it was a crap move.

He was 8 years old pulling other kids out of bombed schools. And let me tell ya, when these woke tards hear that it never goes well
