About this game
This game celebrates Gunther Prien, commander of U-47, who on Oct. 13, 1939, snuck into the British naval base at Scapa Flow and sank the outdated battleship Royal Oak. The event had little military impact, but was a major propaganda coup. When U-47 returned to Bremerhaven on Oct. 17, the crew was met by admirals and handed medals, then flown to Berlin in Hitler’s personal airplane for a parade through the capital, press conferences, speeches and lunch with the Fuhrer.
