U-Boats in New England

Description

U-boats penetrated Boston Harbor to lay military-grade mines

Admiral Canaris and daredevil Otto Skorzeny trained a young American; other teams were inserted by U-boat in the Hamptons, Long Island, opposite Bar Harbor, Maine, and in New Brunswick, Bay of Fundy, Canada

A US Navy ship sunk off Portland, Maine, led to the government denying the true cause of its destruction until the 1980s

German war dead litter New England from Newport to central Massachusetts: victims of suicides, grave robbers and deaths in hospitals, after U-boats were sunk or scuttled

All manner of vessels – fishing, naval, merchant, sailing and military – were sunk or used for rescue
