At sea when the war ends and he is told to surrender, Schaeffer decides to take his sub and crew to Argentina so they will not end up in a prison camp. To escape capture, they sailed from Norway to Argentina during which for the first 66 days they remained submerged using their Snort to bring in air for the diesel engines and the crew. However, when they reach Argentina they found that the Allies had an agreement with Argentina to turn over submarine crews so they eventually became POW's of the Allies.
One aspect of the book that bothered me was Schaeffer's lack of remorse or concern about Germany's quilt in starting the war. Once he is free, he emigrates to Argentina and carries with him the "greatest thing the Second World War left him- a faith in the German people".
