    Professional performance of professionals

    Although I know that many modern management ideas (especially organization, strategy, and personnel) are inextricably linked with the military, I have never understood the operation of the military. Later, after accepting Green's PPM system, I found that the leader does not need to do much. As long...

    Enemy and friend fight wit and courage

    This is a battle between a German submarine and an American warship in World War II. The scale is small, the number of people is small, and the battle situation
    is tragic ; . Both the German captain and the American captain have experienced naval warfare. They are brave and decisive, kind and...

The Enemy Below quotes

  • Lt. Mackeson: [Discussing the new captain] I still don't see why they didn't move Ware up. He's been exec long enough.

    Lieutenant Ware: [Joking] My dear Mackenson, the only craft I've ever commanded was a yawl in the Miami yacht races. And the nearest I ever came to winning that was twenty-ninth. The Navy may have been desperate enough to put me in uniform, but not foolish enough to let me sail away by myself.

  • Von Stolberg: I am sick of this war. It's not a good war. You don't remember the first one. I was a Fähnrich in the U Boats. How proud I was! We went out in those little sardine tins, and if we submerged we couldn't always be sure we would come up again. Oh it was a good game we played! The Captain would look through his periscope and sight the target... and then he did arithmetic in his head! And said 'torpedo loose!' And you know something? Sometimes the torpedo wouldn't even leave the tube. And if it did, we were most lucky to hit something! And now... now I look in the periscope and it gives me the distance and the speed. I pass this information to the attack table, and machinery turns, and lights flash, and we get the answer. The torpedo runs to it's target, and there is no human error in this. They've taken human error out of war, heini. They've taken the human out of war. War was different then. It put iron in a country's backbone, gave them brave memories. And even in defeat it gave them honour. But there is no honour in this war. The memories will be ugly, even if we win. And if we die... we die without God. Do you know that, Heinie?

    'Heinie' Schwaffer: I listen to what you say, Herr Capitain.

    Von Stolberg: It's a bad war. It's reason is twisted. It's purpose is dark. It's not for a simple man.
