Unterseeboot 507
Unterseeboot 507 (usually abbreviated to U-507) was a German Type IXC submarine of the Kriegsmarine built for service in the Second World War and the Second Battle of the Atlantic. U-507 was mainly notable for two patrols she conducted during the Second happy time in mid-1942, during the first of which she caused havoc in the Gulf of Mexico amongst unprotected American shipping, and then in the second attacked ships along the coast of Brazil, in an inexpliable and shocking attack on a neutral nation's shipping in its own waters which almost single- handedly provoked the Brazilian declaration of war on Germany.
