Rocket attack on New York Easy to see how your step-father was confused by the Seewolf hoax. Admiral Ingram was himself. "Early in 1945, exaggerated tales of captured German spies ...created a certain apprehension in the military high command that U-boats might attempt to launch attacks on East Coast cities with robot rocket bombs ... Admiral Ingram announced this dire possibility at a press conference on 8 January [1945] and created a sensation. Doenitz was indeed planning a final blitz on the Eastern Sea Frontier, but the six 740-ton snorkel U-boats which made up Group "Seewolf" carried no secret or uncoventional weapons. In fact, he had none ..." Samuel Eliot Morison, R.Adm. USNR, The Atlantic Battle Won 1975, Atlantic Little Brown: Boston, pp. 344-5. In this battle my friend, Captain John Vest (father of my marine comrade George), played a leading part. Later, Admiral Vest and some of Naval Air Admiral companions, created a stir when they had George and me as guests (complete with corporals stripes) at the Army-Navy Club in D.C. They thought that we were orderlies and tried to throw us out. They said we should have been fed in the kitchen. Yee-hah!
