Air to surface view of a Royal Navy ship alongside a Kriegsmarine U Boat, viewed from an RAF Catalina.
Original RAF Official caption pasted to the reverse "C.2065. Battle of Atlantic. R.A.F. Force U Boat to Surrender.
A Hudson aircraft of the R.A.F. Coastal Command sighted and attacked a U Boat in the Atlantic recently (See Admiralty and Air Min. Communique, 8.9.41) A full gale was blowing and a heavy swell was running. There were no ships in the vicinity when the action took place. The U boat was forced to the surface in a badly-damaged condition and surrendered.
The Hudson was relieved by a Catalina aircraft of R.A.F. Coastal Command which patrolled over the U boat until the arrival of H.M. ships.
The weather was so bad that no boat could be lowered for several hours from H.M. ships, and they stood by keeping the submarine covered by their guns.
When the weather moderated the U boat was boarded, and her capture completed. The prize was taken in tow and brought into harbour.
H.M. ships arrive on the scene and keep vigil with their guns trained on the U boat. Heavy seas break over the submarine making it impossible for the watching ships to lower a boat."
