Merry Christmas to all. Has there ever been any discussion regarding an index on Drach's product? This is fascinating work. But it is also voluminous. E.g., I remember reading about Drach's scathing review of the U-571 movie. I scanned through various Rum Rations and Dry Docks but could not find it. An index would prove very useful in this instance. Not sure if there are open source spiders to assist in this endeavor?

Merry Christmas Drach and Mrs Drach. I doubt if the crew of the USS LIberty in June of 1967 thought that war was very quiet.
