U-58 and spies?
Posted by: ClintJohnson ()
Date: January 17, 2017 07:33PM

In April 1942, U-58 was sunk by a destroyer off the Outer Banks, NC. Some articles say some bodies of the crew were in civilian clothes and carrying American money. These mentions do not quote the destroyer deck logs, or after action reports. There is no attribution to these accounts. Is there any opinion here as to the nature of the U-58's mission? Is there away to find out from the German side if the sub was trying to land spies?
