Synopsis
UBOATS IN THE BAHAMAS is the never-told story of 112 German & Italian submarines (U-Boats) which sank 130 Allied ships in World War II in the Bahamas area, where I grew up.
Some 6,000 Allied sailors were thrown in the water, and about 300 of them washed ashore in Bahamas and Turks & Caicos. There they were met by locals, then Wallis Simpson, the Duchess of Windsor, head of the Red Cross in the British colony, as well as boat-racing oil heiress Marion “Joe” Carstairs.
