Summary

Description
English: Depth charges dropped by 422 Squadron RCAF Sunderland EK591 "U" explode around the stern of U-625 on 10 March 1944. The boat managed to dive, but the aircraft remained in the area and about 90 minutes later it resurfaced and flashed the signal "fine bombish" before the crew abandoned ship and it sank. Survivors made their way to life rafts but were lost the next day in a storm. For the action, pilot Butler was awarded the DFC. As the only photographed success by an RCAF crew against the U-boats, a photo from this series was displayed by Churchill in his office.
