Seen From A U-Boat

[Jim]

Taken by a German sailor aboard a U-boat, these photographs add yet another grim page to the Nazi black record of infamy and crime,

An Allied merchant ship has been torpedoed, and those of her crew who survive are now afloat on the deep. What was their fate we are not permitted to know? Perhaps they were taken on board the U-boat; perhaps they were left to drift.

The photographs above are of merchant sailors in a rubber dinghy; two Negroes and two White sailors on a rubber dinghy, below. A U-boat gunner firing at the sinking ship which has just been torpedoed and a lone seaman standing on a frail raft..

Great photos. My guess is that any survivors allowed to get as close to the U-Boat as seen in the photographs would have been rescued.
