Sir Roger Casement | The Man Hanged as a Traitor Who Took on the Devil

Roger Casement (1864-1916) was an Irish nationalist and British consular official, whose attempt to secure aid from Germany in the struggle for Irish independence led to his execution by the British for the crime of high treason. Born on 1 September, 1864, in Kingstown, to a Protestant father and Catholic mother, Roger David Casement was heir to two radically different traditions in Ireland. As…

While on HMT Olympic's twenty-second voyage as a troopship on May 12, 1918, she encountered the German submarine U-103. Her crew lined her up and rammed the submarine as it attempted to dive. Olympic sliced up the submarine's pressure hull, causing it to sink.

Fish in a barrel: An RAF Liberator sinks a surfaced U-boat

Although March 1943 marked the month with the highest Allied loss of shipping to U-boats in World War II, unknown to both sides, the course of the Battle of the Atlantic was about to change, and change dramatically, in favour of the Allies.

By the end of March the Allies had enough long-range and very-long-range patrol aircraft to cover the northern transatlantic convoy routes. The Allies installed a new ASV Mark III centimetre-wave radar on their aircraft. ASV Mark III could not be picked up by German Metox radar detectors, which detected the metre-wave transmissions of ASV Mark II radar. Less susceptible to ground clutter than the old Mark II ASV radar, it was less likely to lose a U-boat’s echo as it closed. 

Combining ASV III with the Leigh light (a steerable aircraft-mounted spotlight) proved deadly to U-boats. An aircraft carrying the new radar could swoop down on a surfaced U-boat at night (especially a moonless night) and snap its Leigh light on to illuminate the U-boat just before the attack. This blinded the deck watch as well as illuminating the target.

These new tools were used by Coastal Command when they opened Operation Derange on 20 March 1943. Derange targeted U-boats crossing the Bay of Biscay at night, unaware their Metox detectors no longer warned of impending attacks. Over the spring and summer of 1943, Derange and subsequent operations soon made the Bay impossible to cross surfaced at night and dangerous even while submerged.

These tools were used to great effect throughout the North Atlantic starting in early 1943, including in the infamous air gap between Newfoundland and Iceland south of Greenland. March saw VLR Liberator squadrons moved to Iceland and Northern Ireland to cover the gap, including RAF No. 86 Squadron, which began operating out of RAF Ballykelly in Northern Ireland at the end of March.

One victim was U-632, a new boat on its second patrol. In the early morning hours of 6 April 1943, the U-boat had just sunk its second victim, the steamship Blitar, its first – and last – kill of its second patrol. Before dawn, nemesis appeared in the form of R-for-Roger, a Liberator Mark V of No. 86 Squadron. A VLR Liberator capable of flying 2,700nm, and carrying both ASV Mark III and a Leigh light, it was patrolling an area the Germans believed beyond the range of Allied aircraft. U-632 was not expecting company.

R-for-Roger picked up a contact on its Mark III radar. Homing in on the contact it spotted a Type VIIC boat heading west – U-632 – and dived to attack.

As it approached, it switched on its Leigh light, bathing the conning tower in light and firing with the two guns in its nose turret. Before U-632’s crew could react, the Liberator dropped depth charges on its target, bracketing the U-boat and creating fatal damage. The Liberator observed the U-boat sinking as it pulled away. There were no survivors. It was like shooting fish in a barrel.

#OTD in 1916 – Sir Roger Casement arrived in Tralee Bay, Co Kerry on board a German U-boat.

From 1915 Kerry was central to plans for the Rising. In autumn of that year Austin Stack, the leader of the Volunteers in Kerry and a member of the IRB was informed by Pádraig Pearse of the plans for the Rising. Arrangements were being made for an arms shipment from Germany to arrive in Tralee Bay on Easter Sunday 23 April 1916. Stack and the Kerry Volunteers were to receive and distribute the…

U-Boot U-805 escorté par deux remorqueurs américains – 1945

Après la capitulation de l'Allemagne nazie, l'U-805 se rendit à l'US Navy le 14 mai 1945 près du chantier naval de l'US Navy de Portsmouth (New Hampshire), principale base de sous-marins de la région. L'US Navy le présenta dans plusieurs ports de la côte Est des États-Unis avant de le couler au large le 4 février 1946 (source Wikipédia).
