Ever heard of this ???

Never! What a cheap device, and it looks like it could be hazardous to a submarine (oops! U-Boats are not submarines) I mean U-Boat's life.

Never heard of that before, wonder if it actually worked? wonder how they got it attached?

It says they were dropped overboard in large quantities when over a lurking U-Boat.

Wonder if they created so they could hear the gunshots of the crew shooting Bernard for the clanking. Hey, it would be the only logical explanation of a stray sound you could detect in the boat; it's Bernard. Shoot him and it might go away.

Sorry about my cynicism, but that thing looks pretty useless. Why would you drop a swarm of these things on a submarine's (U-Boat's) exact position if you can detect them already? The ambient noise of the machinery within the sub would probably make more noise. It's not very descriptive in this video either. Dose it have a little motor and battery in it? Or does it rely on the current of the water moving around the hull. I think it was one of those things that were tried and failed.

Funny idea though...
