The Hopseidet incident
Posted by: Yngvar ()

<HTML>May 6. 1945, two measly days before German capitulation i Norway, and I think a couple of days after Dönitz gave his \"please surrender\"-order to his U-boat crews, 2 german u-boats surfaced near the small village of Hopseide in Northern-Norway.
Crews from the boats went ashore and tortured and killed 6 local civilians (3 fishermen and 3 boys).

Does anyone know what u-boats these where, who commanded them and if they ever where charged for the war crime?
