Iron Coffin

October, 1941. You are commanding officer of U-207, a Type VIIC German submarine operating out of the port of La Rochelle in Vichy France. Since U-207 was launched in April of this year, you and your trusty crew have been attacking British shipping lanes in the North Sea and the Atlantic. After nearly being sunk by two British warships off the coast of Greenland in September and losing several of your crewmates, you and the surviving sailors of U-207 have been on leave while your trusty U-boat is refit for duty. As the war in the Atlantic drags on and Britain rapidly works to adapt to modern U-boat tactics, a new threat is on the horizon: the United States. While the western giant will not formally join the war until December of this year, they have assigned top-of-the-line destroyers to escort the merchant vessels of their British allies at sea. As your crew is outfitted with new recruits and called back to duty, your trusty vessel is launched once again and you find yourself facing a new, unfamiliar threat. Will you survive the Battle of the Atlantic and go down in history as a legendary U-boat captain, or will you find yourself trapped in an iron coffin at the bottom of the sea? - This scenario in no way intends to glorify, romanticize, or sanitize fascist ideology or the atrocities committed by the German Third Reich during World War 2.
