Re:To heck with you, you ingrateful UKian (Score 1)

Your right chainxor, U-571 was historically incorrect, Hollywood writers and their poetic license be damned. And it is Hollywood that I blame for the ingorance of American youths today, but cannot find out who to blame for the ignorance of the British youths ;), believing what is put before them on screens and not reading about them in books. But I have to disagree about who FIRST stole the Enigma Machine from the Germans for it were the Poles (Polish) that accomplished this feat.

I do not endorse all facts in this site but some of the information I have read does coincide with that I have read about the Enigma.

I primary concentrated on the land battles of Patton's 3rd Army and the battles of the high seas concerning Halsey's Fleet. Not of cryptology and cloak and dagger.
