Nell'autunno 1941 dal porto di La Rochelle esce in missione un sottomarino tedesco, per attaccare e affondare i convogli provenienti dagli Stati Uniti con aiuti destinati agli Inglesi. Dopo aver subito due attacchi, riesce a rientrare a La Rochelle, ma un attacco aereo ne provoca l'affondamento definitivo e la morte di quasi tutto l'equipaggio.
