[PSUBS-MAILIST] German mini sub

Wed May 7 15:03:05 EDT 2014

I find the claims dubious as well. Particularly since I've been recently delving into WWII German mini sub technology. 

As Alec states, what was the mission?

The Argentine army was based on the German army, with similar uniforms, Mauser rifles, etc. But the Argentine navy was based on the Royal Navy and typically had equipment of UK or US origin. The year 1940 would be sort of a tough one to send anything military from Germany to Argentina. I also wonder if this was really a navy boat at all, what its mission might have been - it does not appear to be any more threatening than a K-250, which is to say not a danger to anything whatsoever. Given Carsten's comprehensive records and knowledge of German subs large and small, I look forward to his opinion.
