Remember if you’re ever stranded on a boat crossing hundreds of miles of ocean which I know is highly unlikely for most of us if you see birds that in itself is a sign of land. You’re not gonna see any out in the middle of a large ocean.

Unless there are people trolling by taking a bunch out into the middle of the ocean and setting them loose. Plot twist!

Unrestricted submarine warfare was bad enough, but to abandon and leave survivors in the middle of the ocean is pure evil.

@zeusesparza1291 2 года назад

Hardly the worst things the Germans did in WW2

@blake7587 2 года назад

It wasn’t evil in this case. If you look at background information you’ll see there were cases of decoys pretending to be in need of rescue and then ambushing the submarine crew or even calling in planes to attack the sub while it was on the surface. Remember this was during WW2. It wasn’t evil. It was just trying to survive.

@danishcossack4392 2 года назад

I mean, submarines where already very cramped, and food and supplies where very limited for submarines while at sea. And the submarine crew was busy manning the submarine. So they didin't have the space, supplies or crew availability to take prisoners. Remember this is war, and in war providing for your enemy is of very low priority

Religious or not, there IS some force of some kind watching over all of us. Whether one believes it to be God, gods, or some sort of “higher power” of any kind, there is someone or something that brings order and fate to being and watches over everyone. You don’t have to be religious to believe and see that miracles, or whatever you want to call them, such as this story are beyond are human will or comprehension. Stories like this are only possible with the guidance and protection of a higher power.

During WW2 my father worked on British merchant marine convoys supplying war materials to England. During 2 separate trips the ships were torpedoed by German submarines. He and some of his other comrades were picked up from their life raft by another ship. After escaping death twice this way, father decided to jump ship in New York. However by coercion he was inducted into the US Army April, 1943 or get sent back to Hong Kong.
