        Overview

        Scraps of information are gathered and pieced together by an enemy who lurks in the shadows, proving that nowhere is safe to discuss sensitive wartime information on the home front. This is demonstrated by the sinking of an Allied convoy by German U-boats, ultimately caused by β€œslack minds and silly babbling mouths”.
