1944 218 days after leaving Germany, 160 miles southeast of Sydney, Australia.

Corvette In Capitaine Heinrich Tim of the German U boat U 862 has two torpedoes into an Allied freighter.

Aunt has just fired another to finish it off.

You ate 64th.

Torpedo is running on.

The surface is clearly visible.

Torpedo the crew of the SS Robert Jay Walker watching horror.

A torpedo approaches, but this Liberty Ship is not defenseless.

Debt Guns Air crewed by members of the U.

S.

Naval Reserves.

One of the sailors, Seaman first class Harold Stone, springs into action.

Seaman Stone is an antiaircraft gunner.

He has a 20 millimeter quick firing.

Ehrlich.

An anti aircraft gun.

He points it at the obvious torpedo coming towards him.

Squeezes the trigger.

Fires a number of rounds As the torpedo closes to within about 100 yards of Robert Jay Walker, one of stones round strikes.

The torpedo explodes, sending water and smoke high into the air.

It's a sign both off the accuracy off.

His shooting on also a great deal of luck, the to reinforce each other stone and his fellow gunners continue firing into the darkness to discourage another attack in the initial phase of the attacks.

It's not at all clear that the ship has, in fact, being torpedoed.

But when the torpedo is destroyed by the anti aircraft gun that it's clear that there has bean a U boat attack and therefore measures could be taken to try and prevent a further one while the crew launches a smokescreen to further obscure the Robert Jay Walker aboard u 86 to Tim is exasperated.

Hey, here's the explosion and sees the smoke assumes the torpedo has struck home, but still the vessel stays afloat After Tim fired four torpedoes.

Hey had reconsidered situation because now so much time is spent.

He knew that Thea allies are informed about the submarine attack.

He's expecting naval forces approaching the scene to relieve the merchant man and to Hunter submarine.

If Tim fires again to assure the demise of Robert Jay Walker, he will have used a third of his torpedoes on just one target.

But in the end, he returns to call.

Dennis's wisdom during its early in war gave the order or advice that it's better to have one ship sunk than a lot of ships damaged at first light on Christmas morning, Tim fires 1/5 torpedo.

Who's yes for the Gunners aboard the Robert Jay Walker already.

This time they immediately start firing along the path for four minutes.

Stone and the others poor rounds into the sea, but this time torpedo is too deep.

It finds its mark sure tears a huge hole in the Robert Jay Walker buckling the deck.

Tim, hoping to avoid the coming manhunt, speeds east into the Pacific Ocean toward New Zealand.

When he sank, Robert Jaywalker, Hey achieved another kill for himself and his crew.

Thea.

Amount of ships.

Hey, Sunk is not special about what's special about him.

He is the first submarine commander sinking ship and on off the four world's oceans.

Tim patrols the waters off New Zealand, then begins a return trip to Jakarta for resupply.

And since one last vessel along the way, but despite a successful patrol, you 862 will never deliver its cargo of war material.

On April 30th, 1945 Hitler commits suicide in Germany, surrenders.

A week later, Tim and his crew hand their U boat over to the Japanese on our detained long after peace in Europe in Asia.
