I just finished watching Greyhound with Tom Hanks. Pretty solid movie. Liked all the detail it went into. It felt authentic to me. What I didn't like was how the Germans can be heard on the radio taunting the Greyhound ship. We get it, the Germans were the bad guys. But it got me thinking, was it common for ships/submarines to break radio silence just to taunt the enemy? Seems rather foolish, but what do I know. Thoughts? Thanks!
If anyone with further insight on the matter would wish to contribute, please don't let this post stop you from doing so! More posts are always welcome on any subject.
As it happens, this has come up before, specifically in reference to Greyhound. u/thefourthmaninaboat looks at just how likely the prospect is.
