Its not U-120. its U-1206.

Your web-site is wrong , probably a typing error.

Here's 3 separate sites which claim it was U-1206

Http://www.mathison.freeserve.co.uk/id25.htm

Http://web.ukonline.co.uk/chalcraft/sm/domestics.html

http://www.armed-combat.com/item_uk....0%9A%C3%82%C2%



U-1206 was on patrol when there was flooding from the toilet which got into the batteries releasing chlorine gas. This forced the sub to surface, close inshore to the British mainland,
Because of the gas, the fact it was still flooding, and that the British had noticed her presence, the crew abandoned the U-boat, and made their way to the shore. The U-boat sank soon after.

If no one objects you can post a question Ted, after all, according to 'that' web-site you were correct

Alright lads:

In 1944 a little village in Holland suffered severly because of German revenge.
a) What was the name of the village?
2) Why was it punished and how?

I am sorry, but it wasn't Nijmegen. (On the other hand, I relish the fact that the first answer isn't straight away the right one!)
