WWII German u-boat

[Indiana_Jonz]

Does anyone have info on a German u-boat scuttled on its way to Argentina carrying gold for the Argentina Govt.? The gold was to be used as a payoff to the Argentine Govt. to allow the Nazi officers safe passage to and in the country. The reason I ask is that we have located a u-boat conning tower in Carribean waters and thought this might indeed be the scuttled u-boat. We will investigate further.Thanks in advance for any info-Indiana Jonz

Have you tried these sites?

Uboat.net and sharkhunters.com

Post some questions and see what they say. Supposedly they are in touch with old U-Boat Captains and other crew. Lots of good info. Let us know what you find.

I heard that some one was looking for it they found one that couldnt get inside of but it had bars of lead or alumiun on the deck.

cedarratt,

Thw wreck that you are referring to is actually a Japanese wreck, the I-52. It was featured on the NGC, more info on it can be had on their web site.

If you go to uboat.net, look under the subject The Boats then under Maps. This should let you know which uboat you found. This site also has
the history of each uboat sunk. Please let us know which one you found.

Hello Indiana Jonz,

I am new on the forum so I did not know about your post regarding sunken German treasure submarine three months or so ago. I am sorry. While browsing old posts, I found you by chance. Today I posted the same topic and as I can see I might answer your questions!

Best regards,
Lobo
