Скачать или смотреть What German Admirals Said When British Damage Control Saved Ships They'd Written Off as Sunk

They watched British ships take hits that should have sent them to the bottom — magazine blasts, torpedoes, raging fires — and yet the vessels refused to die. German admirals wrote with disbelief as cruisers and destroyers they had already marked “sunk” reappeared weeks later, repaired and back in action. British damage-control crews worked with a ferocity the Kriegsmarine hadn’t anticipated: sealing bulkheads in seconds, fighting fires waist-deep in oil, patching holes the size of trucks, and keeping ships afloat that physics said should already be gone. This is the story of the sailors who turned disaster into survival, and why German commanders came to respect — and fear — the Royal Navy’s ability to bring back ships that any other navy would have lost forever.
