Why would a U-boat commander want to go up there?

Himmler heard Churchill was going to do some sunbathing and ordered a torpaedo up the kyster. The sub made it passed the defenses but ran aground as the Kaleun was observing some more interesting sun bathers. The sub was scuttled and the crew joined some traveling Gypsies till the wars end.

Well, the Germans did previously visit the coast of Labrador - and left a little present, which is now on display in Ottawa: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_Station_Kurt

Not that I'm not skeptical of course. But I say they should just go down and look at it - should be easy enough to figure it out, instead of sensationalizing everything.

But I think the U-boat angle will raise more funding than much else!
