German U boats blocked by Allied counterattacks

Admiralty records reveal four incidents where German submarines were attacked and damaged by Allied forces. In the first, a torpedo struck the engine room of a U boat, flooding compartments, with the submarine sinking after repeated hits. The second shows charges exploding underwater, producing a large oil slick and debris. A third encounter describes a submarine submerged after sighting a periscope then later being attacked again. The fourth describes a merchant-sub attack with explosive charges and underwater eruptions following torpedo and bomb actions.
