after I posted I looked up a documentary, and according to it, the last one WAS found and it was in a bunch of debris that was scooped up after the explosion in the west lock in 44'
the assumption, assuming this documentary has any validity, is that the 5th sub made it in, fired, and hid in the west lock for a time before scuttling underwater knowing that there was little chance of escape due to the naval base being on alert. there it lay until the west lock had a large accident and was picked up when items from that disaster were quickly removed to save face and get the west lock operational

Credit also the defiant Spirit and leadership of Winston Churchill and the skill of their Pilots, Spitfire pilots included for " holding down the fort " until the U.K was able to take the offensive. It was always Churchill and Roosevelt and their respective countries who were the leadership of the allies. |
