not sure if anyone can help, but here goes. A year or 2 ago I saw a photo of a U-boat crew on deck posing with a polar bear that that must have shot for the meat. If ya know of this photo, could ya be so kind as to point me to the link. Thanx Jerry

I saw the picture in this thread a few years back:

In the thread there's also a picture of a U-boat crewman hunting sharks with a submachine gun - they needed fresh food in the boats :arrgh!:

Sharks live in the ocean, however as far as I know polar bears don't :)

I heard that Wolfs lived in the ocean too, during WWII :lurk:

The bear was shot during Operation Wunderland II 1943 which took place in the East Siberian Sea.
