Axis airmen rescued by German U-boats

Ranier,

All of these fit into either the Phoney War or Scandinavian Campaign period, which is of high interest for the EoE Project. Do any photos exist of any of these rescues or actions to help illustrate these incidents?

Good information in a little known aspect of the war. Thanks Rainer!

Keep it coming, please.

Cheers

None that I know of. I think its unlikely that photos exist of the rescues that took place in 1939/40 because most were made at night and U-boats on war patrol seldom had a camera aboard - except if they had a war correspondent aboard or one of the officers was a keen photographer. However, the rescue of airmen by a U-boat was a rare occurrence so I doubt that photos were taken during any of them.
