mariner Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Was this story even substantiated? U-977 was a World War II Germany Type VIIC submarine launched in 1943. Commanded by Oberleutnant Heinz Schäffer (1921-1979), it sailed for Argentina on 10 May 1945 following German's surrender. The submarine's voyage to Argentina led to many legends and apocryphal stories: that it had transported Nazi gold to South America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Y Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I would say it's a safe bet it was carrying gold and brass :whistle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigjarofwasps Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Its certainly not well documented, but then again it wouldn`t be would it. Given all the stories of nazi gold being at the bottom of lakes, etc ,etc,etc. Don`t suppose this is anything new, I`m not 100% convinced myself, but at the end of the day we`ll never know..................... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
