U-Boat-Sunderland attack

Several years ago I watched a WW2 film of a surfaced U-Boat being attacked by A Sunderland.....My memory may be be incorrect , it could have been a B-24. It was extremely close quarters and short duration but morbidly fascinating and obviously rare footage. The U-Boats 20mm's were fully operational. It appeared on the Military Channel on US cable TV. Would like to see it again if anyone has any recollection of it.

I live in East Alabama,and have been able to visit U-505 and the USS Drum on display at Mobile. I was amaze at then different feeling in size, one could really emphasise with the U-Boat men, although the Drum felt confined. 505 felt claustrophobic. It made me appreciate the feeling conveyed by "Das Boot".

Glad to find this great forum.
