List members , this article on the Quora forum (online) has a very objective analysis of the German U-Boat inventory , at the end of WW II . The missing ones could have gone anywhere , including to Hollow Earth :-

Were all German U-boats found and accounted for at the end of WW2?

No. The Very large cargo carrying U boat submarines remain unaccounted for to this day. From my own relatively small pool of Information, i have found at LEAST 19 *German Submarines remain officially unaccounted for, over and above those that went “missing” or are presumed sunk under mysterious circumstances.

Cargo carrying u boats wer classified as Type X submarines, and included U Boat numbers from 116 to 119.

Above Type X Urseeboot Number 119 was sunk.

Type X u Boat 119 is officialy reported as sunk and destroyed with all hands lost, on 24th June 1943 Off Cape Ortegal.

And from 219 to 220 and also numbers 233 and 234 respectively.

It really ought not come as a surprise to us that Germany built and used cargo carrying u boats in World War Two, the Kaiser had already built and used them during World War One.

Below U boat Deutcshland (Germany) Was a International Submarine cargo carrying blockade runner. It foreshadowed the identical German submarine strategy during world war two. German U boats sailed to and from Japan and its territories, swapping technology, scientists and weapons skills between the Axis of evil partnership.German cargo carrier Submarines imported a alrge number of advanced japanese Torpedos. german built torpedos were un reliable, in fact, they also purchased a lot of Torpedos fromAxis partner Italy too.

However, it remains unclear to me if this included the large number of German Submarines which are known to have surfaced and sailed into an irish Port at the cesation of Hostilities in May 1945. They are reportedly towed back out to sea and later sunk off Irelands coastline.

  • *Source “Hitlers U boat Fleet “volume One and Volume two published in English the 1970’s.
  • According to Ocean researchers, certain Nazi submarines do NOT get found as undersea wrecks in the claimed allied positions for where they are “supposed officialy” to have sunk in the war. Some have shown up in “unexpected places” far from the claimed final wreackage position. Giving rise to grave doubts about claims made by Allied Chiefs over the subect per see. One case i can give you, to give you a working idea of the deception involved about where all the missing U boats went,. A German Nazi U Boat submarine, “officially listed as sunk near the strights of Gibraltar, was discovered in the early 1990’s, just 60 Miles off the Coast of New jersey, USA.

  • Above What they found a hundred miles up a Candian river from the coast…Undoubtedley it indeed is a very “large” nazi u boat.
  • Moreover, it is a published claim that OVER FIFTY U boats in fact remain UNACCOUNTED for. In another “twist” in a fresh water inlet in Candian waters, a rare and special Prototype german u boat was also found in a location “officialy denied as having experienced a abttle” . In fact the allied Military went to such a degree to try to “cover up the truth” that they claimed all the locals who heard or saw it sank , in a “battle” had experienced a “rare form of Mental illness, called group Hysteria”. The acciddetal re discovery of the U boat prototype beggars such claims for what they are, lies and falsehoods.
  • Just ONE week aftr the prototype u boat was discovered (they reflaoted it and tok it away) another one was found, far up a fresh water river inlet , again in Candian waters….;
  • German U-boats were known to roam off Canada's east coast during the Second World War, destroying a passenger ferry between Newfoundland and Cape Breton Island and 23 Allied cargo vessels and warships in the Saint Lawrence River.

In the 1980s, remnants of a World War II era German weather station were also discovered in Labrador.

The German government told Canadian media that about a dozen U-boats remained unaccounted for.

But an official at the German embassy in Ottawa added it would be "sensational and unusual" for one to have ended up so far inland, more than 100 kilometres from the ocean.

The find comes less than a week after a privately funded search group located a Nazi U-550 U-boat lying on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean 113 kilometres Nantucket in Massachusetts, USA.

Historians say the U-boat torpedoed and sank the large US tanker Pan Pennsylvania before being attacked by convoy escort ships on 16 April 1944.

It is well Reported and Documented that a major action involving Nazi U boats took palce near the shore and the St lawrence River during WW2. U boats were reported dropping off and picking up german Spies and Escapeing Nazi Prisoners of war in the area.

Many Allied and four Canadian ships were sunk during this battle action.

The Battle of the St. Lawrence involved marine and anti-submarine actions throughout the lower St. Lawrence River

and the entire Gulf of Saint Lawrence, Strait of Belle Isle, Anticosti Island and Cabot Strait

from May–October 1942, September 1943, and again in October–November 1944. During this time, German U Boats sank about 20 merchant ships and four Canadian warships. There were several near-shore actions involving the drop of German spies, or the attempted pickup of escaping prisoners of war. Despite the 23 ships lost, this battle marked a strategic victory for Canadian forces as ultimately they managed to disrupt U-boat activity, protect Canadian and Allied Convoysand intercept all attempted shore operations. This marked the first time that a foreign power had inflicted casualties in Canadian inland waters since the US incursions in the War of 1812 !

After the War the U boat pictured above was used by the Canadian Navy for another Two years after 1945.

Folks , I think the above statement reveals the secret...the Nazi leadership would have made their escape to Antarctica on these very large cargo carrying submarines , which also had the capacity to carry massive amount of supplies .

Wreck of Nazi Germany’s Most Advanced U-Boat Discovered

Sunk in 1945, U-3523, a Type XXI sub, may have been attempting to smuggle high-ranking Nazis to Argentina

(Sea War Museum Jutland)

Earlier this month, searchers from the Sea War Museum Jutland in Denmark located a little-known but very important shipwreck from World War II in Skagerrak, the strait between Denmark and Norway. As George Dvorsky at Gizmodo reports, U-3523 was a type XXI U-boat, the Third Reich’s most advanced long-range submarine. Some researchers have speculated that the wreck could have been used to transport valuables and even high-ranking Nazis to South America in the waning days of the war.

According to a press release, the submarine was located by the research ship Viña , which was scanning the seabed near the town of Skagen when the unmistakable profile of the submarine appeared on its sonar. The ship sits under 404 feet of water with its nose buried in the seabed and its tail facing upward at about a 45 degree angle.

U-3523 was designed to run quietly to avoid detection and, most importantly, it may have been capable of crossing the ocean from Europe to South America underwater. However, it was not bomb-proof. On May 6, 1945, just two days after Nazi troops in Denmark and the Netherlands surrendered, the fleeing sub was located by a British Liberator bomber, which dropped depth charges, sinking the submarine and killing 58 crew and any additional passengers who may have been onboard.

“This was the most modern submarine the Germans built during the [Second World War],” director of the Sea War Museum Jutland, Gert Normann Andersen told a Danish outlet, as Brandon Specktor at LiveScience translated. “Only two of the 118 that were ordered actually entered service.”

David Grossman at Popular Mechanics reports that the type XXI, which was nicknamed Elektroboote , German for electric boat, was a marvel of engineering. It was designed by the Hellmuth Walter, the same engineer who designed the engines for the first and only operational rocket-powered combat aircraft. The sub had two conventional diesel engine but also four battery-powered electric motors, allowing it to stay quietly submerged for days at a time. After the war, both the United States and Soviet Union based submarine designs on the type XXI and the later type XXIII, using those ships until the 1980s.

Dvorsky reports that, though the submarine was sunk, its wreckage was never located. That fueled rumors that continue to this day that the U-3523 escaped to Argentina carrying Nazi gold, high-ranking officials, Hitler himself or a combination of the three. According to the press release, the sub was likely missed by previous searchers because of its depth and because it was nine nautical miles west of the position reported by the bomber crew in 1945. While there’s no evidence U-3523 made it to South America, at least one Nazi sub did. At the end of the war the captain of U-977 fled to Argentina where he and his crew were captured.

So will we be able to open the ship up and see if it's full of gold or Nazi high-rollers? Dvorsky reports that since it is considered a war grave, signs point to no. Especially when you consider that the depth and position of the wreck would make it extremely difficult to explore.

This isn’t the first sub the Sea War Museum Jutland has found. Over the years the institution has located some 450 wrecks in the North Sea and Skagerrak straits, including nine German-made U-boats and three British submarines.

In recent years, there have been some other exciting U-boat discoveries that have surfaced, too. In 2014, researchers found the remains of U-576 off the coast of North Carolina, and just last year, the notorious German World War I U-boat UB-29 was found off the coast of Belgian.
