I don’t understand how soldiers can go into a situation when they know there is a high probability they will die.

Based on where it was found I recall it was concluded that they sank on their return trip when they lost bouyancy from water coming in the hatch while they were signaling. (?)

"They found copper ribbons from the charge embedded in the pole; suggesting that the torpedo was never designed to be detached from the submarine, but was intended instead to be rammed directly into an enemy ship." ~~~~~~~~~~~
Ignorant, incompetent so-called "journalists"!!! :-(
No "copper ribbons"! The entire mounting sleeve and aft end of the torpedo were found -- still bolted to the 'business end' of the torpedo spar.
See the actual artifact photos I posted on DFG's earlier, well-illustrated thread.
