U-33 and U-34 were VIIA's. They arrived in Nov 1936 and were gone by Dec 1936, after sinking one Republican submarine.
Apparently other U-boats appeared in ports along the Spanish coast from time-to-time (like U-35). IIRC I read somewhere that there were a few in Ibiza at the same time that Deutschland was attacked by Republican aircraft, in 1937. And didn't a U-boat torpedo a Brit warship by mistake (played down by Chamberlain)? |
Interesting, Type VII subs docked at Spain and sank a Republican sub, but they stayed for a little time, i dont know that fact
. Thanks for the information JScones.
