Captured German submariners

 

Captured German submariners (in white) go ashore in one of the ports of North Africa.
Presumably, on the left of the German submariners is the commander of the U-371 submarine, Ober-Lieutenant Tsur See Horst-Arno Fenski (1918-1965)

On the night of May 2, 1944, the German U-371 submarine was detected by escort ships of the GUS-38 convoy at the time of charging the batteries, was driven into the water, a day later (May 4 at 4:30) surfaced due to depletion of batteries air reserves and was sunk (49 German submariners escaped, 3 died).
