Off The Southeast Tip Of Italy A Young Austrian U-boat Commander Named Georg Von Trapp, Later To Gain Eternal Renown When Played By Christopher Plummer In The Film The Sound Of Music, Fired Two Torpedoes Into A Large French Cruiser, The Leon Gambetta. The Ship Sank In Nine Minutes, Killing 684 Sailors. "So That's What War Looks Like!" Von Trapp Wrote In A Later Memoir.

Simply Cold-blooded To Drown A Mass Of Men In An Ambush!
