BENEATH THE DARDANELLES: THE AUSTRALIAN SUBMARINE AT GALLIPOLI

摘要

Few combat commanders ever get the mission to simply run amok with the psychological objective of causing fear and panic. Such were the orders given just prior to the Gallipoli landing to Captain Stoker and the Australian submarine AE2, which had been tasked to penetrate the heavily defended and fortified Dardanelles Straits at the boundary between Europe and Asia. This passage has been crossed by armies for centuries and so it was again for five fateful days by these men on a veritable suicide mission.
