Thanks for the sites, Crapgame!

Here I add another one: USS Wahoo About one of the most famous American submarines of the war. It had some Medal of Honour recipients as part of the crew. But I was amazed that I didn't find any mention in the site about the attrocities its crew did. There's a colour film taken by a crew man showing how his mates firing the deck machine guns and small firearms at hundreds of Japanese soldiers and sailors in lifeboats adfter they had torpedoed and sunk a troop carrier. There were no Japanese survivours. But there is a film showing Japanese men swimming to the submarine who were shot at the spot, and as the film is in colour you can perfectly see the water going red... [img]graemlins/no.gif[/img]
