Give him the Wikipedia article cited by classicman. Apparently extremely well researched. One of so many exciting stories that happened in every human occupied continent in the world. And that is mostly unknown. A story that goes hand in hand with the Japanese sub that torpedoed at least one US battleship during Pearl Harbor.

Also curious is a protected gravesite for the M-24. And an unsuccessful attempt to bring down the Sydney Harbor bridge.

Even in London, unexploded munitions are still discovered.
