Re: July 30, 1942 - U-166 and the Robert E Lee

I will look for it Mike. Thanks. I know the small concrete structure that's still standing on Foster's Point where Ft McRee used to be was used by coast watchers but everyone thinks it's still part of McRee. A lot of locals think it too. >( The ones at Ft Pickens are easier for them to understand the later date but that stupid little room at McRee has them playing war. The Army Rangers used it when they did their night war games when I was growing up. It took a night or 2 every Summer to get used to the constant 'booming'.

My Daughter mentioned the one off Panama City. She lives on PC Beach and the story is that some of the men in the uboat used to come in a bar and have a few beers. I wish I could say that's crazy but we all know the craziest things have a better chance of being true. Of course, that wasn't as built up an area but they ought to have had a few Patriots. :b
