Cool :cool:

Here's hoping they leave it as a war grave.

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.
