Talk:German submarine U-257/@comment-99.230.187.81-20161221210659

Roy Venner, AB, RCNVR  was on gun #2, a 4.7 ammunition loader which hit the conning tower of U- 257 when she surfaced which brought the German crew out of the ship as she was now sinking. The Kaptain gave his lifejacket to a rating, and went down with his ship as she sank bow first and very clost to HMCS Waskisieu, K330, the Canadian Naval River Class Frigate whose depth-charges brought the sub to the surface on February 24, 1944 in mid-Atlantic.

Roy married my cousin Vera Robinson after WW2 and he died in 2015.
