But I don't know if destroyers were involved into this actions.

President Roosevelt was specifically intending to cause an incident in the Atlantic between US and German ships so that an enraged - formerly isolationist - American populace would let him declare war on Germany. On September 5th, 1939 he declared the Neutrality Patrol, that US ships could attack German ships within 300 miles of the US coast.

In April of 1941 he ordered US ships to convoy ships to Iceland.

In September of 1941 he ordered US ships to convoy all ships going to England, as far as south of Iceland.

Before Pearl Harbour there had been 4 engagements between US destroyers and German submarines; two of the destroyers were torpedoed, one sunk, with a total loss of lives of about 140 men.

ÃÀÃÈ, you win the prize; you're next. (well, that didn't come out right.)

Ok, I see I will have to get myself imageshack

But until then, a question:

In the Battle of Monte Cassino many fighters from many different countries participated. Now, my question is, who was the most unexpected participant in the battle?

Aleksandar: Well this time I had to ban since polite asks didn't do the trick. I think that one month is enough for one to chill off and come down to common sense. Jul 3, 2023 22:38:26 GMT 1

Claonadh: Hi all. I have an old pc which regularly crashes when playing GZM 9 (100% CPU) but no issues playing World of Tanks. Any recommendations for a PC upgrade. Thanks. Jul 21, 2023 10:24:02 GMT 1

BigJoe: Hello everyone, glad to see everyone here, BliTzKrieg is still one of my favorite games. These are bad times for everyone, I hope everyone is well.
