Re: German sub sunk north of Dominican Republic

This could be something of a myth.

Dominica declared war on Germany December 11 1941.

According to Jane’s, the Dominican “navy” in WW2 had some small wooden launches and a buoy tender until acquiring some US Patrol Vessels in 1943.

"Latin America in WW2" by T M Leonard and J F Bartzel makes reference to mainly wooden trading vessels.

Good hunting
