It happens certain and yet it's basically self defeating. Someone who thinks he'll be shuffled into a POW camp where the worse result is watching...
I would guess that there is more than a measure of 'go with what you know.' In their thinking. Not to mention if you going to be shot at, most...
Heck we haven't got as far as Bismarck III: Scharhorst and Gneisenau, double trouble! That will be the toned down kiddies friendly member of the...
