Double sub feature for the weekend:
“Operation Raspberry” - a very well done docudrama on how the Royal Navy, specifically a team of the Women’s Royal Navy Service, contributed to shifting tactics in the War of the Atlantic.
Notable insight: As this is a war boardgame community, was intriguing to see how an actual war game was constructed to simulate and prove ouy tactics, and train new officers.

“Close Quarters” - Join a Royal Navy submarine on patrol in the North Sea. Filmed during the war in 1943.
Hidden Gem: The film used actual su mariners for the filming, in which the balance between acting, and seeing their truer personalities come out ebbs and flows, giving some insight into how the men coped in their circumstamces.
