This is the forum for Movie and Film discussions. Again, our topic is naval warfare in WWII for the most part.

OK J.T., Robert, and others who might actually know these things....
How about a pronunciation guide for technical terms, nautical terms, etc?
One list for the U-boat.net crowd, concentrating on German terms, and another list at fleetsubmarine.com for the US WWII boats. Slang should be included, too.
this has been bugging me for awhile, as a lot of folks (like me) that are armchair submariners probably butcher the terms (and German words) we learn from books but rarely hear used.
It will help keep the history alive as the actual participants continue to slip away....
