Hi OldNoob and SG,


here is a You-Tube link to some newsreel footage (8 min.) of the arrival from various u-boats at Lisahally. Don't know if this was posted before here on AMP.

I have not see this before, a great find!

You can see U-1105 next to U-802

Hi Snowman,


I need your help, I viewed this footage last night but I could not spot U 1105. Could you please term the minute of the alberich boat appearance – maybe I had a mist in front of my eyes during first viewing   


Thanks in advance and regards

UPDATE: Meanwhile I watched the footage again and I think I was able to spot U 1105. By pure chance I recognise the flood holes patterns. A real pity that U-802 did it faster to Lisahally, so it moored in front of U 1105 instead of vice versa and we could get more details of the alberich boat.

Interesting link to the "British Pathe" (click the video and there is some more material about u-boat surrender):

Again "British Pathe" and "Operation Deadlight:

Maybe we can get some more never seen footage by using BP's search engine?
