Ever since I told you the story of how I achieved Hollywood stardom aboard the World War II submarine USS COBIA at the Wisconsin Maritime Museum in Manitowoc, Wis., my adoring public has demanded that I let them see my cinematic triumph.

OK, I made that part up.  But then again, Hollywood makes up everything anyway.

But seriously folks, the movie I starred in, BLINDLY WE FOUGHT, by full time Chicago Swiss banker and part time filmmaker Andreas Forster is now available on the You Tube page of the Wisconsin Marine Historical Society at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hx9x5VpNxYw

Never before in cinematic history has the sheer spectacle of a man gripping a large red wheel been so dramatically portrayed.

Steven Spielberg, eat your heart out.
