More reports of German landing
The subject of German U-boat crews supposedly landing in the Republic (Robert Fisk, September 19), reminded me of a similar report - this time in Scotland.
While on the remote Shetland island of Yell, I was reliably informed that it was common practice for German U-boat crews to land, acquire sheep for their larder and depart soon afterwards.
