LucidElement Posted March 29, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 29, 2017 *Just a cool TID-BIT* "A Dutch Minesweeper dodged enemy bombers and aircraft by disguising itself as an island. The crew was stranded, so they covered the ship in trees and bushes and painted the rest of the ship to look like rock. While other ships were being hit by Japanese planes and a local destroyer the Crijnssen (the name of this ship) survived it all. Over eight days they traveled at night and anchored during the day near islands until they reaches Australia and reunited with Allied forces." ***SEE LINK** http://activly.com/20-world-war-ii-facts-that-will-leave-you-speechless/15/?afid=0 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
