Hi Kalkulator,
I read in a book (unsure which one, as a have too many now to remember) during the D-Day landings a destroyer was patrolling to the flank of the main landing site when it stumbled upon a Luftwaffe pilot floating (alive) in the sea. This pilot was shot down and waiting to be rescued. The destroyer stopped and plucked him out of the ocean. This pilot was very anxious to leave the area and the captain got suspicious, depth charged the immediate area and scored a direct hit on a U-boat the was at full stop on the bottom waiting to pick the pilot up.
The U-boat and pilot where in the middle of starting the rescue, when the destroyer approached and the U-boat submerged, waiting for the pesky intruder to leave.
