U32 - German Submarine Soldiers | Full Documentary

You can filter the naval base together with the alpha recording crew with you 32 alpha crew head towards the maneuver through two diving stations the crew of the four hundred million euro

submarine

is constantly on alert up to 30 people live here in the most difficult conditions difficult for weeks At the end of the script, some have problems with smelly feet, of course, but you have to put up with it. The mood on board can change quickly. The food has to be good. I don't think I prepared 136 meals for the crew today, that gave me naval prowess. Base in Schleswig-Holstein, the German Navy's only deep-water port in the Baltic Sea and this is where the German Navy's six

submarine

s are located.

There are not many of them, but they are ultra-modern, in addition to the submarines, combat swimmers, and fleet service and support crews. Ships are also based here, total staff 1,900 8:00 p.m. The crew of the young 32 meets for roll call the submarine will set sail the next day Commander Rudolph Lena and Lieutenant Commander Beck swear that the crew greets with tomatoes The commander looks towards the commander Lens It is the first maneuver with this crew that has the name Alpha crew The 28 members belong to the first submarine squadron to be conferred and are part of the elite group of sailors, since in the German Navy there are only around 80 active submarines in four separate crews, the crew has gone through two months of intense preparation For this maneuver, 32 will sail from a confer of across the keel bay to reach the hull which will now be locked into the keel.

The lock marks the beginning of the Kiel Canal, one of the busiest waterways in the world, after almost 100 kilometers in the narrow canal the submarine passes through the button buns lock here the cameras have to leave the ship while the u32 is heading for a top secret NATO maneuver off Plymouth in the south of England you 32 is a 212 class submarine the world's most modern type of non-nuclear powered vessel the hull is made of non-magnetic steel this makes the submarine be nearly invisible to military tracking devices and virtually undetectable underwater even by sonar. 1,500 tons of special steel were used the interior is pure high technology, much of it is top-secret a submarine of this type costs around 400 million euros in a war scenario these torpedo tubes contain six heavy torpedoes guided by cable on board there are 21 beds and the up to 30 men and women of the crew sleep alternately in shifts the almost two square meters of private space must also be shared u32 has the NATO designation s 182 the Steel Colossus measures 56 meters long , 7 meters wide and 11 and a half meters high generates 4,240 horsepower you 32 can officially dive to at least 250 meters in a defense scenario is armed with six torpedoes the crew and control rooms are located in the central part of the pressurized hull in this very limited space up to 30 men and women often have to live and work for several weeks in the rear is the modern Hybrid propulsion consisting of a diesel engine and a fuel cell.

This makes the You 32 one of the quietest submarines in the world. The propeller is also particularly quiet. It was specially developed and is your top secret before setting sail. The ship is refueled. The fuel cell needs hydrogen. and oxygen, so the tanks are now filled with the so-called reagents inside the vessel. VIP Official Marine Engineer Galot Vic is primarily in charge of this is where the reaction between oxygen and hydrogen takes place, from which we generate a proportion of our electricity. This box is simply covered and everything behind the cover is confidential, we are not allowed to talk about it and we also do not want everyone to be able to see what is installed there.

Basically, we are containers that run on electric batteries, which means we draw our energy. The oxygen and hydrogen. The energy that this produces reacts in the fuel cell and is fed back through the generator to the battery that powers the submarine. This revolutionary fuel cell technology allows the U-32 to travel underwater for weeks at a time at the base. Rudolf Slow is making final preparations so that the 32 of you can leave the ports safely and on time. The 35-year-old has been the commander of the Alpha crew for just two months and this is their first mission together.

Every Tag and Fonfon Tones I am responsible for general safety, in fact I can every life on board, most of my work requires total concentration because the final decisions depend on the paddles and anything that goes wrong ultimately falls on me, that is why I am extremely conscientious when checking everything, especially since it's the first major mission with this. crew now the most important thing to deal with you 32 is to load provisions for the submarine crews the food that is said to be good for the nerves is very important that is why there is no shortage of soft drinks, chocolate and abundant snacks where others see nothing but chaos Lieutenant Commander Benjamin Beck has everything under control this is not chaos at all everyone knows exactly what to do and when and where to do it it's teamwork the last thing is different when people are done with shopping everything is standing in the kitchen until everything is stored and here it remains the same, the diameter of this round access hatch is approximately one meter and now the crew has to pass through it hundreds of liters of drinks, a good 220 kilos of meat and boxes of vegetables.

The food passes from hand to hand and, as they call it, the supply chain until it reaches the storage place, three hundred and twenty kilos of fruits and vegetables and 300 kilos of frozen food are put on board the ships. The cook should not feed the fresh food. goods in cold storage now we check the expiration dates to make sure they last until the end of the voyage and then we know that everything will be fine storing the supplies will take a few more hours work on a submarine is often exhausting, first officer Matanzas knows what is important which is having foods on board for the health of the nerves.

Well, now I will meet all the sweets and drinks are really essential because they help lift your spirits. We can't actually bring our own sweets with us. on board, but having a chocolate bar every now and then is pretty important, otherwise I think there are definitely people turning on each other. Aniki Legon also stored on board several cases of beer which the crew affectionately refer to as Vasa or look at the relief. You can have a beer from time to time, in theory all

soldiers

have the right to have two bottles of beer a day, but they rarely do it, almost no one drinks beer at sea and it has to be authorized anyway by the commander, however, sonar technician Phillip Angus is looking forward to drinking the traditional beer.

Upon reaching your destination, every inch of free space in the underwater strait is used to store food and drinks. U-32 carries three weeks' supplies, food and more food everywhere it looks. In a war situation, these torpedo tubes would contain torpedoes, but now. They are used as storage space for beer, in this case one of the crew members pushes the boxes to the end of the tube with his feet, so now the beer pellets are stored where deadly missiles would otherwise wait. its launch. It's definitely quite stressful. Look, there isn't a lot of space on a submarine, so you want to make sure you don't take one big Latin with four keys on board, but rather a lot of small ones, as they are easier to store.

How exciting is this cart and this should really leave it behind the home port to reduce waste so I do everything with the packaging and I just save the instruction part that tells me how to make something vitamin and I keep it somewhere thanks for baking, After six hours, all the food has been stored. Maas and Fiedler take a short rest outside. The divers are preparing. It is their job to check the submarines for explosives or damage below the waterline before the offenders leave port. in the area this is part of what the submarine combat defense unit does my first dive always involves searching for limpet mines or anything else intended to impede our exit from the Hindon area.

Searching for deadly explosives and possible damage is a routine procedure before each ship leaves port; even in peacetime, divers care

y examined the submarine's entire hull, meter by meter. Before continuing to check the anchor, everything is clean, they find no damaged mines or limpets on the hull of U-32. Back at base, the slow commander has summoned his officers for a navigation briefing to discuss the precise route U-32 will follow. Navigating the extremely busy areas of the keel channel before passing through it is a big challenge for the young captain and his crew, but while there are 14 fairies in the area and we don't have a person, I scheduled them because they come and go all during all day there are eight bridges, but they are all high enough 42 meters so that we can easily pass over them if we look at this particular point, we do not have much space, so if any ship comes towards us and we will have to sail very care

full

y, we will operate a special navigation here, which means that we will not only rely on technology, but also navigate visually because the acre is clear to fall, so our strength worsens, we can stop the ship on the spot immediately , the whole emergency.

The rudder is also in place, so if there is a failure in the rudder we can react as quickly as possible Bianca before you 32 can leave the port the crew has to make sure that all the technical devices are working correctly The chief electronics technician Gustav Sheila is carrying out final checks u-32 has two periscopes, the larger observation periscope with a thermal imaging device and the smaller, more discreet attack periscope. Now I am testing the various mechanisms on the periscope which means that I turn it on when the rotary drive is engaged and this allows me to operate the periscope with this button here and rotate it with this button here I can check if the horizontal angle works, that means that We can go up and down now I just adjust the height switch on the zoom and that's it, after months of preparation the time has finally come 32 is about to leave port the crew is ready now we have all gradually realized What we're really going to see until now we haven't had that feeling even when packing our suitcases and stuff because when you've done it like that it often just becomes a routine at some point, but I think it's about time we got going. .

I'm waiting excited. It is a kind of anticipation of what is to come. That's what we've been trained to do, so now, of course, we want to show it. that we can do it, the ship is ready to put to sea and we are happy that we can finally leave and go to sea again in the following elements and the preparations are complete, the big day has arrived, we are heading to England in the maneuver that We have been training for four months, so now we can show and we will overcome this maneuver very well. Good morning alpha eyes, you know this is not fun and games, this is how we will do things commander, and that is why I have to tell you.

For you, this is serious business and if things go our way, it might even be fun to do something. Be prepared for this and be respectful and polite in the normal way. Pay alpha attention to marshalling stations for a 35 year old man doing this slowly. It is your first mission as commander now everything has to run smoothly the crew is well trained we have everything on board and we already have our first information for the schedule next week we leave the port with good feelings the mission begins u32 leaves the port at the stations of maneuver the boat is ready to sell we moor yes, we leave you 32 leaves the Naval Base in a conference of passage to England alone it is a challenge for both the boat and the crew a bay of confetti extends 17 kilometers inland there are numerous Marinas and jetties here and there is a lot of traffic U32 has to constantly avoid other maritime vessels such as yachts and fishing boats using radar sonar and periscopes.

First Officer Beck and his staff constantly observe their surroundings and we always use the periscopes just to compare contacts. that we have on the radar because we cannot say with certainty whether the different signals on the radar,as we call them our ship, a barrel or simply an interference, a rain shower, for example, or a larger bird flying by, can always appear briefly on the screen. You thirty-two are about to dive and then you will be practically invisible to other captains. The crew must now take extra care to avoid collisions. This is an advantage for diving stations.

The long, drawn-out intonation of the commands ensures that the crew can recognize them from the background. melody which is especially important in emergency situations the commander is the last person on the bridge before the submarine submerges he goes up one more time to check if the upper decks of the ship are really ready for submergence he is the only one responsible for safety of its crew only when the commander is satisfied that the submarine can be submerged safely. Does he return to the control room to give the order to descend to periscope depth? The helmsman is responsible for heading speed and depth after the command has been given by the officer of the watch.

The helmsman steers the submarine to the given depth, you 32 begin to dive so that the submarine completely submerges and goes down to the periscope depth, it takes 60 seconds, yes, you thirty-two have reached the periscope depth of 13 .5 meters, but how does diving between the pressure hull and the outer hull work technically? large ballast tanks when the ship is on the surface they are filled with air to dive these tanks are flooded with water the submarine becomes heavier and sinks to surface the ballast tanks are filled with compressed air which displaces the water in the tanks allowing the Submarine to the surface using the Commander Lenta periscope.

Check the surroundings to avoid collisions the periscopes are among the most essential elements of the equipment on board yes, we have two different FC was that this is the observation Paris will shine in this moment the difference is that the perspective is only the part that is above the surface of the water is a much larger vehicle than the front periscope as young as you can hear. I keep getting messages that I have to respond to, but there are communication points everywhere, so I can talk at any time. This periscope has a much larger viewing head than the front periscope, we call this one here the observation periscope the alarm if I see with this observation periscope we have several different devices a thermal imaging device that allows infrared vision so we can use this periscope at night one that can move it, it also has radar to see the courses of the ships.

The downside is that when the periscope is up, we are easier to find, so if we really just want to look through the periscope, we tend to take the front of the water because the submarine is much smaller. The crew constantly scans the environment not only optically but also acoustically. Sonar technician Phillip Angas and his colleagues have to understand the different sounds of boat engines and boats of all shapes and sizes. Officials, telephones and fishermen are very interesting to us. You often hear a winch or something like that. Marus' work noises are the sound of networks.

You have to be able to differentiate a little if a fisherman is making these working noises. We are interested in how she travels and in what direction so as not to cross paths. behind them and we can avoid the grid somehow, otherwise we also have vehicles with lower rev speeds, 80 rpm propellers for example, these are generally larger merchant vessels that we don't need to worry too much about as they just travel their normal routes from A to B, etc. They are much easier for us to avoid when there are fish, a fisherman constantly changes course, goes to the right or left and maneuvers, so that is something we have to be more interested in.

Yachts in particular, they present a great challenge for sonar, they are barely audible to the sonar technician. You should be able to recognize all other seagoing vessels such as fishing boats, cargo boats, passenger boats or motor boats just by their sound, but please let someone help my mother. If it is a merchant ship you will be able to hear it better because they often have four blades on the propeller and one blade is always distinctive and sounds a bit like this very clearly please check heading 305 in its submerged state u-32 is currently traveling at 5 knots, which is equivalent to about 10 kilometers per hour, so far everything is going smoothly, but then you hear an emergency announcement: diesel engine on. tires engine a pressure pump as quickly as possible the fire team must put on protective clothing and gas masks in all sections of the underwater roof there are emergency air manifolds that firefighters can connect the commander is putting his team on the test, You want to know exactly how durable they are.

This may just be a drill, but advancing through the narrow hallways to the stern of the submarine wearing full protective gear and oxygen masks is an extremely strenuous task in a real situation, First Officer Matanzas would have already done it. extinguished the fire but here he is simulating smoke poisoning and has to be rescued as quickly as possible despite the urgency the firefighters transport the victim with great care the injured man is taken to the officers' mess which in the meantime has become a nursing is where they will stabilize you, just took your pulse, okay, then attach the pulse oximeter, the yellow one just to check oxygen saturation and then we will insert another cannula.

Diagnosis: suspected smoke inhalation, he is still unconscious, we assume he inhaled smoke. We are just stabilizing him from time to time he will come out of the boat rescued, but that was just a drill before the injured man was fine, now the treatment was successful, but he still really had received the injuries we just simulated, mr. They definitely would have had to take SAS out of shipboard time. At least we would have requested a helicopter to take mr. SAS disembarked from the submarine and was taken to a hospital on land during the war. The injured man could not have been removed from the ship.

It is unclear whether he would have survived under those circumstances. The exercise just went very well. The

soldiers

did exactly what I expected. who worked quickly and completely focused and this gives me confidence to continue our path towards this maneuver. I would have thought that ships cook myself ela is busy in the kitchen The trained chef learned his trade in the kitchen of an online restaurant and even after seven years, he still finds that cooking on board a submarine can be a challenge, a It sometimes reminds us that when we are doing practice exercises like water or fire on board, that cuts down on time and things get pretty tight, so you just have to do one thing after another to make sure the meals are ready on time and that the food is hot and everything is ready at exactly the right time because it's a very small room here, plus the smell of the food and the boat rocking, it doesn't take long for me to get seasick, so that's a problem for me and also for the crew, as it sometimes makes it difficult to prepare meals on time.

Each crew member must consume around 3,000 kilocalories per day. The lack of space on board leaves little room for exercise, so the cook must ensure that the soldiers do not gain too much weight, what is required is a healthy and balanced diet, but the crew has other preferences, the god to know blushed in the middle of aha, it doesn't matter if it's breakfast, lunch, dinner or even the middle meals on duty at night, it's all a matter, you know what you're waiting for, whether you're entering or leaving of the guard, oh, and if there really is no meat and something is wrong with the food, it puts everyone in a bad mood and the whole atmosphere. the table can change quickly, so like I said, cooks have a really important job.

David himself is an important and hard job because the ship's cook is the only position without backup, he is working almost 24 hours a day, it's time for us to do six hours. shifts, so there are meals every six hours and at 5:20 there is breakfast 11:20 is the first session for lunch and then there is dinner at 7:20 and around 8:00 p.m. 3:30 is the half-shift meal and this is the day after in a few minutes chef Marcel Fiedler will take a one hour break in the control room veep galoot vick is preparing for the submarine to surface she is the marine engineering officer twelve meters 11 meters D ballast D ballast D fills the ballast tanks with compressed air which then displaces the water in the tanks making the submarine lighter than water so the ship can surface the ballast tanks have been discarded prepare the bridge for the sea The German Navy has six submarines, all of them are of the 212 a class and are deployed mainly for reconnaissance and presentation of operational situations.

No German submarine has sunk since 1966. Life as a submariner is relatively safe but with many restrictions. sonar Phillip Angas doesn't have a lot of luggage but he always has a little more than many of his colleagues because I have to be on the bridge I need to carry a few more pairs of pants where I am on the veteran there is always the possibility of a wave coming because why do I have the ones I'm using and for everyone else that should probably be enough chefs here I have my mother's homemade jam which is very important because you can't go anywhere without something to remind you of home it brings the images to mind and the jams They are always special something you had for breakfast at home or I don't know, some people bring a stuffed animal from home just to have something and other than that I don't have many things with me.

Submarine czars are often separated from their family and friends for weeks, but at least on board they are never alone, the crew becomes a replacement family, up to 30 people in a very small space sharing 21 beds. Having your own place to sleep is a luxury. Well, this is my bed here, as we say, my bunk and I share it with First Officer Kitna. The other sonar technician on board, there are four of us in total and he is on the other watch. We are divided into starboard and port watches and change shifts every six hours, but such close proximity is not always pleasant. some, of course, who don't bring enough shoes and then have bad foot odor, sometimes it happens to them, but it's not that bad, let's all go, ha ha, when you're very tired and you have to sleep, it can be something that you can bear.

Of course, you mention to your comrade that you might want to do something about it and without bringing a few more pairs of shoes or using the foot spray we have especially for this, that might help just one person on board a little. I am occasionally allowed the luxury of having a small privacy commander who never does. I am the only one lucky enough to have my own room so I can close the door and have some peace and quiet along with the official engineer of the marina and others on permanent surveillance in a setup to design I am on call all the time yes something happens or goes wrong I'm always the person to contact the thing that's why I have something special here my own communicator so if I'm really asleep here and someone needs to contact me.

I have something I can talk about. We should let you know that I basically have a little more storage space than everyone else. This here might suggest that I have a lot of shelf space, but I don't because I like it. Everywhere else on board there is technology so I can't put anything in it so now I only have a few small compartments above us but one interesting thing is that under my small bed is where our weapons and ammunition are stored and I sleep on them. I'm not the only one who has the key, this is where we keep the diancie and she hasn't had it, but other than that it's actually a pretty comfortable place to sleep.

He was on some mystical assignments, but things are usually not comfortable on board. The policemen stare for a long time. All the helmsmen failed. They went into emergency operation. Rudder failure. This means that the rudder can no longer be controlled from the control room. There are many ships in this area. A collision would be a disaster. Emergency rudder at the stern as quickly as possible in crowded areas The emergency rudder is always manned Marco Bott Clock now takes over communications with the control room The large X-shaped rudder of the submarine is now controlled manually using the four levers rapid evasive action is needed to avoid a collision 1,500 tons of steel are manually maneuvered away from the other ship.

We do these exercises relatively frequently and I wouldn't really want to experience it in a true emergency, but if it happens it wouldn't be a problem to get to the back. and steer the boat from here the first stage is over fresh air again finally after four hours you 32 have reached the fjordThe Kiel crew is now preparing to enter the hotel Now close the entrance gate to the Kiel Canal This federal inland waterway is the busiest navigable waterway for maritime vessels around the world A tugboat is already waiting to help the submarine pass through the narrow entrance the crew members attach a tow rope to the stern of the u-32 the tugboat will accompany the submarine throughout its passage Through the Kiel Canal, the four hundred million euro Steel Colossus arrives at the lake is not a easy task, since the thirty-two is not particularly maneuverable and in the narrow lake collisions can easily occur once the submarine is moored, so it is just a matter of waiting for the lift. of no more than half a meter, here it takes about 30 minutes.

The tugboat constantly pushes the stern of the submarine towards the center of the lock to prevent the rudder from touching the side wall. If it were damaged, the mission would end right here and the cost would increase. The door would be enormous. of the giant lock opens again but the 56-meter submarine cannot leave its position without further ado. A second tugboat is needed to carefully and with a little difficulty remove the U-32 from the lock. The entire procedure lasts an hour per time The newcomer on board is the pilot who will guide the ship through the Kiel Canal.

He knows the area very well and has advised the commander since 1948. The Kiel Canal, also known as Nord OS, is a canal linking the Baltic Sea with the North Sea. In the Elbe estuary, more than 32,000 ships pass through it every year. The canal is sailed with 32 sails without a tug. The maximum speed is 8 knots, about 15 kilometers per hour. The slower the submarine travels, the more difficult it is to direct it when passing through it. The busy channel requires the maximum concentration of everyone involved in the valve. There are many more curves here than we normally have and we have to avoid these curves so as not to interfere with oncoming traffic.

So overall, it's fair to say that the N is fine. It is quite narrow compared to other waterways we know, the 100 kilometer waterway runs through the picturesque landscape of Schleswig-Holstein. First Officer Matanzas is enjoying his brief rest on deck. When you're here you can really enjoy having a little time to yourself but even in the towers when you're at sea it's great to have some time on your hands I always dreamed of working on a submarine I grew up with this to a certain extent because My father was on a submarine at the time and I wanted to do it too, so I joined the Navy and I would have been a little disappointed if I hadn't been stationed on a submarine.

You 32 have already been sailing through the Kiel Canal for three hours, it is 5:00 p.m. time for sonar technician Phillip Angas wants to sleep a little, his first shift is already over, we are here in the upper head which is the bathroom and for me it is time to go to sleep, now we can sleep about three hours. before they woke us up again in underwater slang, head means bathroom and there are only two on board, we have two bathrooms, that's what I'll call them for about 30 people and every time change the guard, you have 12 to 15 All the people go to brush their teeth, wash, shower, go to the bathroom all at the same time, so sometimes there is a small line at the heads and then people get in between Yeah.

You just have to wait your turn. Sonar Technician Angus will now sleep. For three hours before his next shift begins, good cook Masson Fiddler can only take short breaks. Well, I've slept a good hour and a half now and I'm at the stage where I've prepared some of the mid-watch food, like kebab meat here it's a tradition on submarines that when they leave port the crew eat kebab . I have no idea why that was long before my time so I just continue the YK Bob tradition after leaving port, a mystery like so many other traditions and the German U-boat gets it wrong in its own language, here it is said that setting the table is pretending and once it has been baked they can sit on the bench, that is, sit and eat, baking and setting on the bench is done every six hours and the ship's cook works almost all day.

I prepared one hundred and thirty-six meals for the crew today at dinner in the officers' mess. The slow commander is absent. You have to stay on the bridge until the submarine has successfully passed through the channel and depending on how busy the trip is it can take up to 15 hours from time to time, there are places in the channel that allowed me to go below deck and as We had to wait a little longer on the keel, today it's time to eat below, otherwise there would have been quite a bit of food up here. Due to oncoming traffic this afternoon, the channel is a little busy today for the helmsman, which means you will have to take extra care, but the boat can of course move slightly to the left and wars to the right. if something comes towards us as a helmsman.

First Officer Martin, us, is currently sitting at the steering console guiding the submarine through the channel with great concentration, even the slightest deviation from course could be catastrophic in a multi-million dollar simulator. The future helmsman of the submarine learned not to make mistakes in such situations, they are trained. To direct the class to 12-8 submarines with identical controls and equipment through Homme, we have the simulator that also works with the emotion system, so it can show everything very realistically, including failures, environmental influences, all kinds of things, all to train our future steering console operators or Depth Control Officers, we know that here people are allowed to make mistakes and that is what we want to provoke, but they are not allowed to make any on board.

Every Submariner, from cook to commander, has to go through this 22-year-old training program. Old Christian Petersen's best moment at the beginning, when we got here. I remember that in the first hours none of us could control the submarine, we just went up uncontrollably and caused problems that were completely out of the ordinary, but in the meantime we more or less solved it. To cope, only a few pass the demanding training course and become submarine helmsman in the Kiel Canal. The ships cook myself, feed lies, prepare the night meal, the so-called half watch, even on an experienced submariner like him, the first signs of fatigue begin to show that you feel more tired when you have been in deep sleep. and then you have to get up to do the mid-hour watch or make the dough for the breakfast rolls.

I would say that's when you feel pretty groggy and then you really look like I'm looking forward to just being able to take a shower and get off the boat. Dough Fiddler can now lie down for about an hour before having to serve dinner. You will soon achieve blessings, but blocking the journey through the channel has been necessary. 8 hours the slow commander has been on the bridge the entire time. How long have I been here? I'd have to check, but it definitely seems like quite a while so far. I just split up here as a duty officer so I can find someone to relieve me, but I think we have another 45 minutes here on the canal before we get to the Bruns bottles and then we'll see it done, you just need to go down the Elbe and then My days will end, that's my alcohol tax. a good 18 to 20 hours if I'm not mistaken the new commander is very pleased with his crew and sonar technician Phillip Angus is proud to be part of it there are more Bundesliga footballers in Germany than submarine bugs at the moment we have about 80 people active in submarines which is not a lot so it seems like you obviously have to work hard for it and you really have to want to do it when coming on board here and not being fully committed wouldn't be good at everything so you forget it comments on the plastic passing through the Kiel Canal the alpha crew and their commander who strayed have mastered the first stage of their operation.

You 32 will soon head to England, where from now on a NATO maneuver is planned for your mission. it will be top secret
