German submarine U-69 was the first Type VIIC U-boat of the German Kriegsmarine during World War II. This meant that in contrast to previous U-boats, she could travel further afield for longer, with a payload of eleven torpedoes, an deck gun for smaller vessels and a flak gun for aircraft. U-69 was very successful, sinking over of Allied shipping in a career lasting two years, making her one of the longest surviving, continuously serving, U-boats. Her most infamous attack was on the civilian ferry SS Caribou, which sank off the coast of Newfoundland in October 1942, killing 137 men, women and children.

  • German submarine U-69 was the first Type VIIC U-boat of the German Kriegsmarine during World War II. This meant that in contrast to previous U-boats, she could travel further afield for longer, with a payload of eleven torpedoes, an deck gun for smaller vessels and a flak gun for aircraft.

Her most infamous attack was on the civilian ferry SS Caribou, which sank off the coast of Newfoundland in October 1942, killing 137 men, women and children. She was built at the Germaniawerft in Kiel during 1940, and was ready for service in November. After her warm up in the Baltic Sea (designed to give her an opportunity to train and repair minor faults), she was deployed into the Atlantic Ocean in February, 1941 and achieved immediate success.
