Vaughan,
Sorry, the capture story is not true. Only one U-boat was captured in WWI, the small minelaying UC 5 in the North Sea. UC 5 went aground and the scuttling charges failed to go off.
The Giroude story also is unlikely as no sinkings are credited to steamers in that area.
Best wishes,
Michael
