Talk About Dangerous Missions!!!


The scene where the Seaman is fending off the Naval Mine with his legs was pretty dramatic! Obviously this was a very dangerous mission ... certainly worthy of History Channel adoration.

In reality the men of Operation Source attacked three ships (Tripitz & Scharnhorst & Luzon). Nine men were killed and six were taken prisoner.

Cheers to these brave men!
