BBC article ‘we reckon’? I would never believe an Englishman would speak like a Texan.

Boy, this is an interesting find, though.

I am guessing this is UB-22. It hit a mine in the North Sea and was lost. It seems all other UB-II are accounted for.

Irregardless of the crew having been the enemy,they should receive a proper military burial.

“The type UB-II submarine is said to be in good condition...”

I guess no one pinged it in WW2 and dropped “cans” on it?

Can’t be UB-40, they were still making records in the 80’s.
