Freddie and Lenny went back to their respected units, HMS Penelope "Pepperpot" and the Tank Landing Craft. The news was leaked that Churchill, Stalin and Roosevelt were to have a meeting at Potsdam. Churchill was to be on the Penelope to attend. However, he was moved to another ship. The German's gave the order "Sink Penelope", eventually they did. All hands were lost - but we don't really know. Leonard was sadly lost.
