KMS Leipzig - "Prinz Eugen! Watch Where You're Going!"

Still feeling a bit under the weather. You don't want to know how many takes recording this took. My health aside, though: Leipzig is an interesting case. Simultaneously unlucky, with how she got damaged, and lucky with how she survived the entire Second World War. A light cruiser that, after an unfortunate run in with a British submarine, was converted to training duties. Or 'training duties' in air quotes, because she sure did a lot of things that weren't training. In any event, she survived the entire Second World War. In spite of the best efforts of both enemies and a certain famous heavy cruiser. The title is there for a reason.
