Yes indeed. I did not think the pic of the skull was very tasteful, nor calling it a 'Nazi' boat. . Interesting though

I'm surprised there were any survivors. They should have gone into more detail about what happened. I assume it was torpedoed, but evidently did not sink too quickly. |

I put it on here because I thought someone on Subsim would know something more about it than is covered in the article. Seems not though

U-168 was hit by a torpedo from the Dutch submarine HrMs Zwaardvisch. The attack killed twenty-three men, with a further twenty-seven being captured. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_submarine_U-168 Interrogation report of survivors: http://www.uboatarchive.net/U-168INT.htm
