Well, I was already skeptical about the detonation. RR brought up a great point which I hadn't even considered (using Google Maps) to set the record straight (for me anyway). I've been a bit behind lately with the latest technologies (I still don't even have a cellphone). I suppose, as far as the captured sub was concerned, the Germans would have to negotiate the Cape of Good Hope via the Atlantic and probably had not completed the task when Germany surrendered.
I've always been skeptical of the post WWII interrogations of Japanese prisoners for reasons that I've already mentioned (either in this forum or at UBI -I don't recall).
Funny though, I have used Google Maps before, just didn't even dawn on me that I could've used it to investigate this.
Oh well, Nice, direct and to the point, presentation RR.
