The sea break

the long version

Lieutenant Commander Widmark had truly earned his nickname, 'The Butcher', in Mediterranean waters. He derided the Geneva Convention: in his view, war was a bloody business in which those who stopped at nothing would be victorious. And in November 1942 his greatest adventure begins: the organization and execution of a private cutting-out operation, designed - regardless of any consequences - to strike a telling blow for his own side. Widmark plans to seize and sail an 8,000-tonne German vessel, HAGENFELS, from the neutral East African port of Lourento Marques.
