Photographs of LTJG Chamberlain's Attack

One of the best photographs of the U-boat War. Two of LTJG Chamberlain's depth bombs have hit the water and two are captured in flight. One can be seen rolling off the port side of the U-boat's deck onto the saddle fuel tank just aft of the conning tower. The second depth bomb in flight has lost its flat nose covering indicating that the weapon has ricocheted due to the low impact angle.

U-569 begins to submerge

Only the conning tower is visible.
