Descripton: More de-mythologized history of the World War II Polish Navy (the title comes from the classical history of the Polish Navy in WWII by Pertek, the Wielkie dni małej floty, or Great Days of the Little Navy), exploring some enduring fairy tales. Includes submarine stories: an order to unload spares from the sub minelayers three days before the war started, real success of the Dzik at Spartivento, Polish saboteur in Greece blowing up U-133 and U-372, witness NCO states ramming U-102 was a hoax.
