On the morning of the 14th of April 1945, U-1206, one of the last German U-boats to be commissioned, was cruising at a depth of 200 feet, just off the coast of Scotland, about eight to ten miles from Peterhead in Aberdeenshire.

They had been experiencing a few difficulties, such as the U-boats diesel engines not operating correctly, forcing it to run on battery power, so the crew were busy making repairs.
What happened next can arguably be considered one of the strangest demises for a vessel in naval history.
