On August seventeenth, nineteen forty-five, a German submarine surfaced in the harbor at Mar del Plata, Argentina. The war had been over for one hundred and eight days. The crew surrendered peacefully, telling a story about fear and desperation that seemed to make sense at the time. For seventy-nine years, that story held. Then divers opened a safe that should not have been aboard and found documents that name twelve Americans who were very much alive when the Third Reich fell.
U-nine seventy-seven left Kristiansand, Norway on May second, nineteen forty-five. Germany surrendered unconditionally on May seventh. Admiral Dönitz ordered all U-boats to surface, report their positions, and proceed to Allied ports for inspection. Most complied within hours. Some scuttled themselves rather than surrender. A handful tried to run and were hunted down within days.
