Das Boot — France
The U-boat base at La Rochelle — departure and the devastating Allied bombing of the harbour.
The La Rochelle U-boat pens were built with concrete roofs up to 7 metres thick — impervious to Allied bombing. The pens still stand today. La Rochelle remained a German garrison pocket even after D-Day, surrendering only on May 8, 1945.
