You are absolutely correct. The sub was captured not as a “specific hunting operation†but as an accident and boosted the ego of a local commander. The UK was monitoring the German code for month at that time. When the sub was caught (without authorization) the military top was very irritated. It happened days before the Normandy and seriously compromised the intelligence ability right before the D-day. The sub was hiding up to the end of the war (from German intelligence) somewhere, I believe, in South America and later in Florida. It never served nether military not intelligence purpose. However, the entire story dose sound sexy…The Cat
