U-995 Type VIIC/41 at the Laboe Naval Memorial near Kiel (Wikipedia) Picture 1 Kimmo Huosionmaa The mystery of the type VIIC submarine U-977, what made the journey to Argentina at the end of the World War II is simple. Why this submarine made that trip, even if the war was ended during its last patrol in 1945. The captain of that submarine wrote a book of this incident, and he claims that there was nobody on board, who wanted to slip off the hands of the allied.

And if the only electronic component, what is used as the compressor, there might be very long endurance for the fuel of that submarine. U-977 route to Argentina (Wikipedia) ...
