    That is a very nice story Josh. Amazing the things that happen in war.


    Amazing how British Corvettes and Frigates would stop in the sea to pick up Uboat


    survivors. They risked the boat and the officers and men from attack


    from other Uboats.


    Argentinian soldiers were also were also surprised in the Falklands war


    to wake up in a bed next to a Brit in the next bed on the SS Uganda the


    hospital ship. How they became friends after the war.


    Good to see humanity at work in the worst of human activities.


    Thanks Josh.

        A great read and it is true soldiers need to keep their humanity.

          found myself getting emotional when reading that, out of war, good can prevail (sometimes).
