<HTML>The story of the escape of the Polish submarine ORP Orzel from the internment in Tallin in September 1939, the subsequent chase by the Germans and the Soviets, monthlong odyssey in the Baltic, slipping through the Sund to the North Sea just under the nose of the German Kriegsmarine, arrival to the British port of Rosyth - accomplished without maps confiscated by the Estonians during the internment - all that could be the base of an interesting scirpt, together with the later sinking of the German troop transport Rio de Janeiro on the eve of the invasion of Norway in 1940.
The mysterious disappearance of the sub in June 1940 in the North Sea and the controversy accompanying it only add to the value of the story.
There was a Polish movie made on this story, but it was back in 1960s and as far as I remember it was black-white.
If anyone is interested in this story, its possible to find it in English on

I admit, its a bit too pathetical sometimes, but nevertheless good reading.</HTML>
