Uboats crossing Gibraltar

Raf1394 · 02-21-25, 01:28 PM

I got a question, about the Uboats who crossed the strait of Gibraltar during WW2.

Was it possible that the Uboats who crossed the Gibraltar strait.
actually went as close as possible leaning towards the North African shores. Especially not far from the Moroccan coast. And this way trying to enter the Mediterranean Sea?

I know the depth would be very shallow. And some parts of the Moroccan coast were Spanish property/enclaves so i guess neutral? Would British warships still patrol this neutral area? If i remember correctly, there was a small international zone off the coast of Morocco, around Tanger. Were international ships/warships could patrol?
