I read several stories, including military, where the culmination of the story was a Russian spell. I want to tell you one more. In April 1942. One of our submarines operated on enemy communications near the Norwegian fjords. They drowned the transport, planned to go to the base, but exploded on a mine. The Emergency Emergency. The body flows, there is no movement, it is impossible to dive. The current relates the wounded boat to the Norwegian shores, there the Germans.
It would seem that it would only remain to shoot or surrender to captivity.
The other submarine seeker shouted down:
“I’m watching a sailing vessel.” In a few minutes: “I watch a submarine under the sailing!” What is? Submarine under a sailing vessel? Is he drunk? The commander came out on the bridge, grabbed the binoculars... Our native "Shuck", the periscope is pushed out for the entire length, it is attached to the resemblance of a sailing vessel, sewn from some blankets. In general, the crew was taken on board, and the wounded "Shuka" was captured by a torpedo. Under this "shuttle", running on the usual magnetic compass, they managed to move away from the enemy shore and cover a very decent distance. German observers saw them, but apparently took them for Norwegian fishermen on a sailing trawler. The Russian smart.
