At once the 'planes swooped on their prey, and a hall1 of bomibs scream-ed down on tLhe slinking sea wolves. Unable to crash-dive or manoeuvre in the narrow Sound, the U-boats were ippcd ap!r~t b-y the in- ferno of high explosive. On May 8th the European wur cnded. Some yei.rs afterwards the Dunishi authomities decided to clear Lillebueit Sound. One sal- vuge firm aftem another tuckied the tusk of raising the sunken U-boats, but al failed. Finally,~ permission ,vas~ given to a scmup metal firm f0 blow up the wrecks. When a diver went down te inspect the first U-bout tne found a nuntber of skeletons inside. With explosive charges the huli was split open. It was then that the divers made ank amnazing discovery. The subrna- rifle hadl caried no ttrpedoes o-. her last voyage. In their place the torpedo compatmrent was stucked tightly with cans of food. The amount was fan greater thaPn could possibl-y be needed by a submarine setting out on patroL. As the loads of scrap metal from the wrecked vessel ,vere brought ashome, Daush police scrutinized each piece careful- ly in an endeavour to establish the identity of the U-boat, but without suceess. No trace has been found of a log-book or any of the ship's usuai pupers. Then, in the second of the wrecked submunines Captain Olsen of the salvage vessel Kia- !5ten Jensen m a de anotber strange discovery. It was half of a woran's floral patterneçi cotton skirt. Captain Olsen, who has worked on several Germian subrnarine wrecks, de- clared, "This is the first timne f have found any taces of wo- men having been on board." The U-boat is sf111 unîdenti-. fied. Some humnan bones have been brought f0 the surface-, also a gasmask andi a piece of mnaterial bearing the niame "Do- mnogalski." But no further lue as to what passengers, if any, she curried. So there it is. Did Hitier commit suicide in his Berlin~ Chuncellory as the ,7orld offi- cially believes, or did he fiee fromn the doomed& capital, de- teroined f0 malte his wa y te South America by U-boat, tak- ing with hixo the womuan whc had remiained faithful to hiyn?
