Operation Drumbeat by Anthony Saunders.
The entry of the United States into the war opened up vast new hunting grounds for the German u-boat fleet. Operation Paukenschlag (Drumbeat in English) began in January 1942, bringing the U-boats their easiest pickings of the war. Over 300 allied vessels were sunk during the Paukenschlag along the US coastline, ranging from New York harbor, to the Straits of Florida. This period, also known as the second Happy Times to the men of the U-boats, was only brought to an end in mid 1942 by the formation of allied convoy systems. On the evening of April 5th 1942, U552, commanded by Kapitanleutnant Erich Topp, sealed the fate of the British tanker MV British Splendour east of Cape Hatteras. The U-boat was part of the fourth wave of boats of Operation Paukenschlag, she returned to Saint Nazaire on April 27th 1942 having sunk seven ships during the patrol.

Saint Nazaire was home for two U-boat flotillas: 7. U-Flotille, the Wegener Flotilla and 6.U-Flotille, the Hundius Flotilla. It produced some of the top U-boat commanders including Topp, Endrass, Prien and Kretschmer.

The only buildings to survive the onslaught were the bomb proof U-bunkers which can still be seen to this day.

U-269 by Ivan Berryman
U269 had been commissioned in July 1942 and now belonged to the 6th
U-Boat Flotilla based at the occupied French port of St Nazaire. Sea
trials of new equipment during April and May 1944 had resulted in U269
moving to the port of Brest and it was from here that her commander
Oberleutnant Georg Uhl, began a patrol on 6th June. In the early hours of
the morning of 11th June U269 was detected on the surface by Liberators
radar approximately six miles away. The aircraft, commanded by F/L J
Posnett, made visual contact shortly afterwards and began a depth charge
attack during which time she wasa engaged by 20mm and 37mm anti-aircraft
fire from the submarine. The Liberator's outer starboard engine was hit as
was the fuselage and some control surfaces. The damage was sufficient to
prevent all but one of the depth charges from releasing and the U-Boat
sustained no damage. The Liberators crew dealt with an onboard fire and jettisoned the
remaining depth charges and the aircraft slowly regained height and
eventually returned safely to base. Having survived this attack U269 was attacked and sunk by the
Frigate HMS Bickerton two weeks later. Thirty three of the crew were saved
but the casualties included the commander.
