The war is lost, it has been lost since Rommel was pushed out of Afrika, since Paulus capitulated East, and certainly since the Atlantic…
U-Boat Part 32
Ke couldn’t put down Kessler’s letter to Sajer. She paced around the room, looking from the letter to the file Kessler had left to his Kaptain. She had to tell Akin, she had to alert everyone. She looked at the clock on the wall and wondered if the commander was an hour into his nap…

U-Boat Part 28
Ke visibly flinched at Akin swearing, Perry saw the reaction and guessed that it was highly unusual for both of them. “You speak nerd, sir?” Wells was trying to push past the awkward moment and get to the details. Akin held a sheet of paperwork up and offered it to Ke, “You’re medical, you can…

June 10, 1944 Kaptain Sajer U-5918 Brunhilde Morale among the men is atrocious.

U-Boat Part 25
In a spare, private birthing, the crate had been left next to a wide map reading desk. Map reading desks come complete with the giant magnifying lens with built in illuminator for navigators to plot fine details into ornately drawn topographical charts. Ke pulled the chair in close and reached for the first book in…
