Re: U 1009

Hi there,

Sorry for the delay in responding - new member.

U-1009 was evidently the first U-boat to surrender in Loch Eriboll, on 10 May 1945.

Other data as in earlier forum responses.

I have a photograph of U-1009 under arrest in Loch Eriboll, displaying the black surrender flag. The photo also shows the frigate HMS BYRON (K 508).

You also mention U-1109. I also have a (not very good, admittedly) photograph purporting to show U-1109 and U-1305 entering Loch Eriboll line astern to surrender.

Regards etc.
