[Milsurplus] Good receivers was Why Germany Lost the War

[Hubert Miller]

Actually, i didn't say you stated sunk by submarine, altho i could have
worded this more clearly.
The only WW2 era sinking i am aware of is of a Russian cargo ship, i think
sunk off the Olympic Peninsula,
in a storm. The same area where the General Meigs sunk in 1979, i think,
while being towed to Calfornia
to be scrapped. I was told that some brave souls went out to the ship, on
its side on the rocks, and harvested
the wheel, and a radio, altho i sort of doubt the latter item. I did have in
my project list the idea to interview
the guys who did this - i kind of forgot this project - but maybe i'll do
it; sounds kind of fun to do and maybe
enough for an article in Sea Classics. The Navy apparently felt the Meigs
could become a dangerous 'attractive
nuisance' and blew it into pieces. One huge section landed on the beach
hundreds of yards away, and i think
that's the only visible piece.

Hello, Hue: I never said it was by submarine. 

As I remember the story, it was by storm. Might be the same ship. I dunno. 
All I was doing was mentioning what I had heard and remembered.

No. No submarine. None.
