Honor and Accuracy

by Harry Cooper


At Sharkhunters, we pride ourselves on accuracy in history and honor in everything we do. The information, history, photos and first-person accounts of the submarine war are looked at to make certain that all facts and details are correct. Accuracy is primary.

Honor goes along with accuracy, and we would never do anything even slightly dishonorable. I must however, present our deep and sincere apology to new Member “Dex” ARMSTRONG (6909-2004) for some serious errors made here. He is an extremely interesting writer of the submarine stories and apparently, some of the stories we received from other Members were in fact, from his pen. We certainly did not knowingly leave his name off his very interesting work. “Dex” has received these words from us already and he is a decent man, accepting that we just didn’t know. We will certainly be more careful with his work in the future.

“Patrol” in South Germany and Austria

The details have all been gathered and our 2005 “Patrol” in South Germany and Austria is firm! So you may say that you have already been with us on this “Patrol”, but you really were not. There are so many new and unique things we have added to this “Patrol”, some is the same – but some is very different. The details of this “Patrol” are on the website already. Go to our website then click on TOURS. All the details are there, and we welcome you on our bus. Don’t wait – we expect a lot of people.

“Patrol” in North Germany and Poland

HARRY COOPER (1-LIFE-1983) just returned from Germany after putting the final touches on our 2005 “Patrol” in North Germany with Berlin and Poland, and this 2005 “Patrol” will have some great surprises and new places to visit – places of history. Our Members who have enjoyed our “Patrols” in Germany, Austria and Poland (and elsewhere) know that a Sharkhunters “Patrol” is unique in all the world – the veterans themselves are there to visit with us and they take us places not even known to many people and so, they cannot been visited by any other groups. We anticipate that these two 2005 “Patrols” to Germany, Austria and Poland will fill up quickly. We can only take 40 people on each, due to bus and hotel accommodations. Don’t be late!
