<HTML>>>In a couple of old movies, a U.S. sailor was depicted as heroically sacrificing his life after being captured by an enemy (German or Japanese) submarine by banging on the hull and giving the American destroyers a target to home on. Notice how the same action suddenly turns evil when it\'s a German sailor doing it, though! All in the point of view, I suppose. <<

You got that right.

When the German sailor does it, it IS heroic and brave. He\'s trying to stop the enemy from fulfilling its mission despite his own life.

The Americans, on the other hand, are cowards. These guys don\'t want to fulfill their mission. If given half the chance, the American crew would dump the Enigma in to the sea and radio for help despite the consequences.

So in other words, Germans=Brave and Americans=cowardess.

I can\'t see how that can help to stir up anti-Nazi sentiment.
