After reading an article in the Daily Telegraph last saturday my grandfather and I have both become interested in the story, about 33 u boats surrendering at Loch Eriboll.
My grandfather was stationed in India during the war, and although knowing about the surrender, had not known this partially happened at Loch Erriboll.
Does anyone know why this happened at this particular Loch. Also in the article it mentions that the locals were sworn to secrecy, why was this? As the rest of the surrenders appear to have been quite public.
Many Regards
Mark
