What do you know today that you didn't know yesterday?

[Anomalocaris]

The movie Das Boot depict a factionalized account of a sortie of the Nazi submarine U-96.     But the real U-96 was perhaps the luckiest german submarine of the war.   She carried out 13 missions through out the war and never suffered a single casualty amongst her crew.    Considering one out of every four German submarines would be sunk with all hands on their very first missions, and 3 out of 4 German submariners would be killed during the war,  that’s some luck.
