RE: U-boats and Maine Coast (USA)

<HTML>Dear Tom,
an U-boat is an expensive piece of hardware, she could not take such a chance. In 1943 any U.S. American was a patriot that would have fought against that German vessel with stones and clubs: they were regarded as the rattlesnakes of the Ocean, not as interesting pieces of engineering. If a submarine was spotted, most likely she was an US boat on training patrol. I could even conceed she was an Italian one that was temporary unsure of her position and this could explain the crew\'s funny aptitude.
Greetings
walter M
