U352 Sunk 80 Years Ago Today!

On May 9, 1942, the German submarine U352 was sunk by depth charges from the U.S. Coast Guard cutter Icarus, south of Morehead City, North Carolina. The Icarus crew machine gunned the German submarine when it surfaced, preventing the German submariners from manning the deck guns. One survivor, radio operator Kurt Krueger, reported that Icarus departed and then returned 45 minutes later to pick up survivors. Fifteen of the crew were lost, but 33 survived and spent the remainder of the war as prisoners in the U.S. They were the first German prisoners on U.S. soil.
