Damn. Good one. I just searched online but I can't find or recall the name... there was a short SF story by.. Robert Bloch? About someone (American) finding their radio could communicate back in time with their father or grandfather, who was a German U-boat crewman. They knew when the U-boat had been sunk, so they told their ancestor to avoid the situation... and woke up the next morning to a very different world.

Anyone know the name of that story?
