The mystery of the type VIIC submarine U-977, what made the journey to Argentina at the end of the World War II is simple. Why this submarine made that trip, even if the war was ended during its last patrol in 1945. The captain of that submarine wrote a book of this incident, and he claims that there was nobody on board, who wanted to slip off the hands of the allied. That man might speak true, but the fact is, that some war criminal might be worked undercover as the member of the crew.
Or another way is to put another submarine in the pull of the U-977, and that submarine would be type II class submarine, what might have the snorkel system, what allows that submarine stay underwater in a long time. And if the only electronic component, what is used as the compressor, there might be very long endurance for the fuel of that submarine.

Or maybe the used submarine was the “Seehund" class midget submarine. When we are looking for the route of U-977, it was very long, and did that submarine have full patrolling fuel for patrol, what began the only couple of days before the end of the war? And did that fuel stay for the trip to Argentina? When we are talking about the submarine, what skeptic by another submarine, there might be facing the situation, that the captain of that submarine didn’t know midget submarine, what this attack submarine was pulled.
Or he might be afraid because if the submarine, what could be after the U-977, could kill the bigger submarine by torpedoes. And if there were no torpedos for the tail torpedo tubes, there was no change to escape from that operation. The trip to Argentina was taken 66 days, so the submarine’s fuel was full. Or another way is to meet the service ship on the sea. The reason for the trip is the thing, what makes me be the sceptic of the speeches and writings of the captain of U-977.
If those men did not surrender properly place, they might face the court-martial when they return the land. Of course, the reason for that trip might be only to offer those seamen the nice beach holiday in Argentina. But if there were some undercover war criminal in the crew, this man might be there without that nobody else knows their existence. The only man who knows the truth is the captain of that boat.
