Re: The Enemy Below
I'm what you might call a WW II buff......I've read just about every historical book on WW II and some books on it's aftermath...
The most interesting was " The Two Ocean War" by Samuel Eliot Morrison...
It's a chronology of the Naval War and covers the Atlantic and Pacific campaigns..
Another was written by Herbert A. Werner , a former U Boat Commander, the name of the book is "Iron Coffins".
A pictorial history is offered by Lothar-Gunther Buchheim , author of the boat in U-Boat War.
All three are very interesting reads even if you are not into war history..

I recall seeing this one years ago. It's a good one, and I'm going to make time to see it again. I like Robert Mitchum in just about anything he does.

Re: The Enemy Below
My poor ole Dad served in the US Navy from 1943 till 1946, he volunteered like the rest of 'em. He served aboard the USS Guam (CB-2)... one of the newer battleships being built at the end of the war..it was referred to as a "pocket battleship" , the ship served as an escort for aircraft carriers, her and her sister ship the USS Alaska (CB-2) accompanied the USS Franklin (CV-13). During land bombardment he was a loader on one of the 12" guns and other times he manned one of the many 20 MM guns , his 20 mm gun placement was mid ship.
He often told me that during the encounters with kamikazi aircraft , he was most fearful of losing his life....He was discharged in 1946 in Bayonne, New Jersey as a 2nd class Seaman.

I suppose I better do my duty for the community and move this thread where it belongs. Oh and Lechy! Thanks for that [emoji106] I haven't seen that one since I was a kid!
