Cool pictures jimbuna.

That looks like a lot of dangerous work, even without the threat of attack. I'm sure the last thing anyone wanted to hear was "Aircraft spotted!"

I do recall that while Suhren's U-564 was transfering the torpedoes shown in those photos, the last one went to the bottom when the air in the life jackets they were using had slowly leaked and finally couldn't support the eel and down she went.
