“A hit! Another enemy ship sinking. Another cargo stopped from being delivered. One step closer to final victory.” The deep rolling voice of the documentary narrator as he says this brings a chill even after all those years.
BLAH-BLAH-BLAH
Every Sunday afternoon my Dad and I would watch the TV documentary “Victory at Sea”. It fascinated me.
Since then I have watched other WWII documentary series such as “The Unknown War” and “The World at War” just to name two of the better known ones. They were, and still are, the inspiration for this, my series.

No need to apologize, M-R. Don’t ever let the Internet come before what you have to do in Real Life. When you graduate from university and become rich and famous you will be glad you did.
[Seriously, do what you have to do in RL first and let me know when you graduate. *hugs*]

Since you are the second commentor to say that, I feel forced to point out that the only battleships that were ever sunk by Axis submarines during WWII were H.M.S. Royal Oak (13/14 October 1939) and H.M.S. Barham (and 25 November 1941).
The ship that I show falling victim to this U-boat kommander is a hapless oil-tanker.

Cause oil spill not happen til after back-broken ship fall back into water (Currently middle of ship lifted up out of water by force of torpedo hit).
Me think maybe shud make pitcha of survivors of sinkin’ in whatah or maybe lifeboat, but me think too “dark” a subject for little furries to see.

Thanks very much for noticing that little point, Matthias.
Muzzles pose some interesting artistic problems in pure furry pictures, but more so when artists place their owners in a world that the artist wants to keep recognizable by humans viewers. From all the WWII documentaries I’ve watched I noticed that human submariners lined up one side of their face or the other to look through the eye lens of the periscope. So-o-o-o, what’s good for humans is also good for the anthrowolves.

There's a little detail that maybe I'm reading into too much..? Whenever I look through something, be it binoculars, a telescope, even a magnifying glass, I end up showing me teeth. XD Guess I'm not the only one after all.
And, oh dear, an oil spill? As a conservationist I must ask... was that a protected area? (Not too like in the 40s, but..!)

When people really concentrate on what they are doing, they very often open their mouths without realizing it. It must be some sort of automatic reflex.
Sadly, during WWII there were hundreds (thousands?) of oil-fuelled ships that were sunk, either in battle or by being torpedoed by submarines. One of the major targets of submarines on both sides was to sink oil tankers since the industrial war machines of their opponents depended on oil. Hence oil spills on a global scale.
In all the WWII documentaries I have ever watched over the years I can not recall a single one that mentioned environmental damage from all that spilled oil. The documentarians seemed more interested in the crews of those ships that were dieing and who won.
Wars are generally very untidy things.
