On July 30, 1943, a Sunderland flying boat, U for Uncle, from the
Australian 461 Squadron spotted and attacked a German U-boat in the Bay
of Biscay. The U-boat, commanded by Korvkpt.Wolf-Harro Stiebler, sank
taking the lives of 53 of her crew. There were fifteen survivors. 

By a strange coincidence, the submarine was the U-461.
