The U-505 was one of the feared German U-boats in the Atlantic, known for sinking eight ships and causing nearly 50,000 tons of losses for the Allies.
Living conditions on the U-505 were harsh; only one person could occupy the kitchen at once, and temperatures often soared beyond 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
On June 4, 1944, the U-505 was detected by a US Navy task force, marking the beginning of the end for this lethal U-boat.
The crew aboard the U-505 faced discomfort, rarely bathing and often cleaning with alcohol, while battling cramped quarters and oppressive heat.
