<HTML>This story has a lot of white spots. It remained so after seven presses/printings of the archives of the KGB and Third Reich. I had the occasion to hear different versions. Sweeping aside the explicit fantasies of participants in the events, it attempted to restore real events. But the more 4 it thought above them, the more fabulous entire occurred seemed. Sea knows how to store mysteries

In the beginning of 1945, in the rate of the Third Reich secret conference went on. The discussion dealt with the retribution for the crushing defeat of great Germany. Delusions changed one another. There was no Hitler, it could not be subdued to the crash and arrived in the prostration. Reported Karl Doenitz, who commands of the navy of Germany. His Jesuit plan was accepted for the realization. Under the cover of the strictest secrecy, 12 submarines, newest 26 series, provisions, completed them by clothing, weapon they were prepared to the prolonged conservation. By their windy Baltic night they lowered at 45-meter depth, one of the molded gulfs of island Rugged and they on top disguised by algae. On the same night all divers, who produced works were exploded on their diving tender. Each boat was supplied with the unique sluice, through which the scuba diver could penetrate in inward the submarines. Further, into the specific date, the crews of boats must be gathered, demothball boats and leave in the sea for inflicting of a surprise blow against the ships of super-powers. Under the conditions of the Cold War, who there was investigated, from whose boat was produced the first torpedo volley, American or Soviet? Following this inevitably they followed the exchange of usual, and then by nuclear strikes. And no one into the head it arrived, that against them act the boats of Admiral Doenitz, the spectres of the nonexistent power.

Ten years after war into one of the autumnal days, into the commendatory of East Germany town turned elderly German. He inconsistent described about some boats ready for action, about the secret intentions of Nazis to unleash new war. They did listen to with the large distrust, little which can seem elderly person. However, they were soon found and other information o, allegedly, to preparation some of secret submarine warfare. Boats searched for long. Literally on the eve of the approach of usual autumn-winter storms, the diver of the detachment of underwater-technological works saw part room in the brushwood of algae on Roughen Island. Primary inspection showed that 12 submarines of the newest of the German of project in the outstanding state, with the complete fire unit of torpedoes lie/rest on the flat keel at the identical from each other distance. Submarines expected their time X. U-boats was decided to rise for studying the newest developments of German underwater shipbuilding, and, to at the same time and understand the intentions of German submariners. But the moved autumn put off conducting ship rising to the following year. Only calmed down spring of storm, as the divers 447th Battalion of the emergency rescue service of Baltic fleet began to prepare U-boat for the lift. And it was here explained that of twelve submarines, two without leaving a trace disappeared. Naval counterintelligence agents were alarmed. How could disappear in no way small underwater vessels? Adjacent water area, going out to sea is thoroughly monitored coast antisubmarine observation posts, by on-duty ships of the protection of aqueous region, by sea parts of Coastal Guard. Theoretically, to leave is possible only into the fierce storm, and only in the above-water position. But in this case, ship could not be held down in narrow deep water, she would break against the coastal stones. The analysis of readings of the posts of antisubmarine defense gave nothing, as did not give anything the thorough inspection/examination of those being adjacent there was no region, boats nowhere. In the fact that they left under its own power of doubts it did not cause, on the bottom it was left airlocks for the penetration of scuba divers to the boats, they more lately found several German aqua lungs.

In 1956, under the vigilant observation the KGB of 9 German submarines they rose to the surface and looked around. Boats were actually preserved, dry inside and, in the opinion of the being present submariners, they could maintain combat readiness still of years 15 - 20. Thoroughly packed are blown through and drugs had the large reserve of suitability, on each submarine there were navigation charts practically to all seas and oceans. Then submarines thoroughly disguised o they towed away in the unknown direction. More there no one saw. The importance of salvage works indicated the fact that the motion of their fulfillment followed personally marshal Andrey Grechko. The tenth, last submarine proved to be with the damaged waterproofing, and during its lift to the surface occurred the break of the pantone rope. The boat seeming on the surface again left to the bottom. The room and forward hold were destroyed with the shock about the soil. Grechko ordered to repeat operation after additional preparation, but for some reason no longer they returned to the German submarine.

By early spring morning 1959, the detachment of the antisubmarine ships of 123 Brigades of the protection of sea region left to sea on battle alarm. In the Soviet territorial waters was fixed the contact with the unknown submarine. Already at the output from the base, acoustician reported about target detection. Unknown submarine proceeded by course with the entrance into the naval base. After leaving to the distance of shot, small antisubmarine ship gave volley from the jet bomb installation (RBU) of the starboard. Torn, deafening roar carried past above the sea. 10 depth charges were fixed into the target. They reported from the combat information center, that the bombs lay into the assigned region with the large divergence. Contact with the target is lost. The minutes of expectation did fall or not? Cry acoustics broke the silence:

- Propeller noise, to the right 20, distance 30, is classified as torpedo. To the right 25, propeller target noise is classified as torpedo!

- They played! - By lightning it was carried in the head of commander, both machines forward, the most complete, right onboard! - He gave an order. MPK (small antisubmarine warship) steeply departed to the antisubmarine zigzag.

- Propeller noise, torpedo to the right 145. Propeller noise, torpedo to the right 158. Propeller noise is moved away on the stern, - reported acoustician.

- You do not know how to shoot! - said commander, being clearly turned to the enemy, and after growing dark, he growled out, - we not better! Ship again entered into the search mode. Submarine did not appear. Again search. The minutes through 10, from the side of coast reached two resonant reelings; apparently, most likely of torpedo they reached the coastal stones. Judging by the torpedo attack, there are no special damages on the boat. It means, it was harbored. Two hours of expectation became whole eternity. The post of acoustics reported. Is noticed propeller noise, contact acted unsure, target changes course angles; it departs from the region of visibility. MPK went to the interception; the remaining ships of detachment were advanced in the region of the possible maneuvering of target. Navigator reported, that in minutes the target would leave into the neutral waters. Sequential aim designations are given out and fiery to bit turned itself above RBU of left side, but in the same moment was sounded report about the fact that the target changed course. Sequential series of the depth charges not of reserve unknown submarine. As if after guessing position on MPK, boat at the high speed departed to the neutral waters. Report about the readiness RBU for the sequential shooting entered on the running, when boat left territorial waters of the Soviet Union, and it approached a zone of intensive navigation. The silhouettes of the vessels of commercial fleet seemed at the horizon.

- I propose to deliver impact on the imperialistic aggressor, with the enthusiasm proposed Deputy Commander for Political Affairs.

- If our bomb accidentally lays on the deck of foreign, let us say, dry load it will wake its captain, I think, it will be not in the enthusiasm. Let us, in addition scratch deck, not we it colored. Write then report noted commander - we in the zone of intensive navigation, to here burn not accepted, let us run a little for the moment after the boat.

Meanwhile unknown submarine took course to territorial waters of Sweden. Navigator reported, that on the course Swedish territorial waters. It remained to await and to observe after stopping motion. Above the sea stood clear day and Swedish fiords were as on the palm. Well here, now boat will visit into one of the fiords and write the note of protest. They noted the silhouette of the Swedish Coast Guard ship gone at a good speed not immediately. The bright three features of rocket bombs illuminated mountains. Three enormous water sultans grew through the instants from the water.

- In they give! - It was pulled out in commander - not affectionately they meet, although to arrange the exponential destruction of underwater disturber, the matter - saint.

The second Coast Guard ship left from the fiord at full speed and after unrolling to the combat course she produced torpedo shot. Acoustician properly transferred bearing, distance to the underwater target. On the surface of sea again did rise the column of water, they did really catch boat? But it was observed on the spot of the explosion neither grease spot nor floated objects. Contact with the submarine was lost. The Coast Guard ships lay into the drift, hearing out depths. Exactly here entered order to leave pursuit and to return into the base.

In the base onboard they raised base commander and officer of KGB. Officer of KGB measured off, not suffering objection by voice, and he informed about the fact that MPK carried out practice firings on the range. But about that occurred it requested they would not be extended. But to whom it was hunting be connected?

You will not conceal awl in the bag and this history, outgrowing by hearing and conjectures, for long agitated the town of seamen. Foreign radio reported that in one of the almost inaccessible fiords the burned out and deserted submarine of German project was found. With the attempt to tow she sunk there in the fiord.

In the same year, the Royal Navy detachment headed by cruiser "Belfast" mastered combat training tasks in the North Sea. Soviet destroyer escort not far off controlled proceeding. Suddenly the ships of the escort of cruiser fixed unknown underwater target. Soon acoustics reported noise of the swiftly approaching propellers qualified as torpedoes. The volley of depth charges blew up two torpedoes; the third deviated from course and left on the landward side. Above the sea it smelled by the thunderstorm of the tower of main battery of "Belfast". They were turned to the side of the Soviet ship, when acoustics classified fourth torpedo attack. The antisubmarine forces of British group proved to be in the position unfavorable for reflection to attack. British cruiser actually remained without the antisubmarine protection. Soviet SKR after developing complete motion, she went to the intersection of course of "Belfast". Set up a howl RBU, a series of depth charges from the Soviet ship intercepted to unknown torpedo. "Belfast" hurried to return guns to the march position.

- Your opinion, sir that this was? - By the plain text inquired from the cruiser.

- Neptune, combat our readiness verified, - answered the commander of Soviet SKR.

- Thanks, you healthily rescued us, - again they transmitted from "Belfast".

- Together we are invincible, - transmitted from the Soviet ship.

More lately appeared short report, that the Norwegian ships of Coast Guard shot the floating German torpedo.

Two years later in this region under the mysterious circumstances will be blown up Panamanian dry load with the load of jute and Norwegian log transporter. The Norway Navy will found several crewmembers. One of them will describe about the fact that, allegedly, saw the periscope and track from the torpedo. But sea commission will copy these catastrophes, to the mine floating from the wartimes. But in the week through this region will precede to the tests the Soviet underwater nuclear-powered submarine "Leninskiy Komsomol".

Questions, questions, questions. Why only two German submarines were demothballed? Where the remaining crews? There can be they do rest upon liner "Wilhelm Gustlov" which did heat the Soviet submarine "S-13"? But convincing confirmation, that among seven thousand passengers there were the submariners, until now, no. But can in remaining underwater pirates it do disappear desire war? Answers to these and many other questions sometimes will become known.
