The Lyrics

Without going through the entire history of HMS Seal, here is its last mission from Uboat.net: April 29, 1940 . HMS Seal started its journey for the operation "DF 7" with 50 Mines from Immingham. The operational aim was to lay a mine barrier near by the Swedish island Vinga. That location was in the German transport route to Norway. May 04, 1940 02.30 a. m. HMS Seal was attacked by a German "He-115" aircraft from the "Küstenfliegergruppe 76" in Aalborg. The boat was slightly damaged. May 04, 1940 09.00 a. m. They started to lay the mine barrier. After 45 minutes all 50 mines have been correctly laid. May 04, 1940 06.30 p. m. HMS Seal was badly damaged by a mine hit and laid on ground at 30 meter depth. May 05, 1940 01.30 a. m. The crew managed to surface the boat and attempted to reach Swedish waters, but one hour later a German Ar-196 seaplane discovered the submarine. The "Arado" under Oblt. Mehrens attacked HMS Seal with 2 bombs and machine-gun fire. A few minutes later a second "Arado" under Oblt. Schmidt also attacked the boat. On board the HMS Seal some of the crew were wounded. Then the boat was captured by the German seaplanes. May 05, 1940 06.30 a. m. German "UJ 128" (Unterseebootsjäger 128; the pre-war trawler Franken) commanded by Kptlt. Otto Lang arrived the place and towed the submarine to the now German naval base Frederikshavn (where the German 12th UJ-flotilla. was located) May 11, 1940 02.30 p. m. HMS Seal was towed by the German tug "Seeteufel" (Sea Devil) and reached Kiel and was brought in to the Germaniawerft yard in Kiel, where the submarine was repaired. It was then used as U-boat UB: On Nov 30, 1940 the former HMS Seal was commissioned as UB commanded by Fregkpt. Bruno Mahn. He was an U-Boat veteran from the World War I (Commander of SM UB-21) and at this time 52 years old. The UB had limited value for the Kriegsmarine except for training and propaganda uses. One benefit for the Germans was that through analysis on the British torpedoes they were influenced to make a better torpedo-detonation device for the German weapons which were at that time highly unreliable. On July 31, 1941 UB was decommissioned from the Kriegsmarine and on May 3, 1945 she was scuttled in Heikendorf Bay (in position 54.22N, 10.11E). Her wreck was later raised and broken up.
HMS Seal was doomed
struck a mine

On mission towards Norway proved cruel
No denyin’
Arados were flyin’

Got you- British bandit
The alarm did sound
Arados sent from Denmark
Opened up and shot you up and down!

HMS Seal was doomed
struck a mine
Couldn’t dive

They got you
They got you
They got you
Hit you with 20(mm) cannon
Attacked from the air
Trapped in the sea
Had to abandon

Kriegsmarine!
HMS Seal was doomed
struck a mine
(captured you at the scene)

I never knew the Germans got hold of a British sub. I've been to the German sub in Chicago, many years ago. Amazing how men could live in such cramped spaces and in such danger. Just bought a copy of "Das Boot", which I haven't seen in a long time. May watch it this weekend.

The Germans captured 14 foreign subs, but only HMS Seal was at sea. What is more amazing is that it was caught by aircraft- 2 Arado Ar-196 floatplanes! The 2x 20mm MG-FFs each carried and single or double MG-81s gave the little floatplane tremendous firepower. The Ar-196 is one of Germany's most loved planes along with the Fi-156 Storch and Ju-52 :)

JAB, I was raised with a father in Intel and was taught to shoot at age 7. I studied German weapon systems from the 1970s onward and got to go to many military facilities where new weapons were testing. I love aircraft, so I studied and examined many warplanes including the SR-71 and saw a SAP or two in my lifetime. I am known for aircraft and weapon systems online. I have 9 non-fiction books on Third Reich material and approx 30,000 a/c photos posted on many sites, my old NG, and on forums. I have 3300 books at my disposal at home as well, but know most of the stuff by heart- I seldom consult for any of my parodies here.
