This is a very confusing header, isn't it? According to the official records, U-112 as well as U-113, U-114 and U-115 were all projected in 1938, but none were ever built. The TYPE X1 was designed as a U-CRUISER displacing something like 3,140/3,630 tons with a large radius of action. According to official records, none were ever built and perhaps those records are correct - perhaps not. What is meant by this statement, you might ask.

There is a HINT, and I stress that this is only a hint, that at least one and possibly two of these big boats were actually completed, but WERE NOT ASSIGNED to the U-Bootwaffe of the KRIEGSMARINE but instead, were assigned to the ABWEHR much the same way many American U-2 and SR- 71 spy planes were assigned to the C.I.A. rather than the US AIR FORCE.

According to this hint, two of these BLACK (SECRET) boats, as well as a few BLACK SHIPS, operated out of Vigo, Spain for at least two years AFTER the end of World War II.

One of these BLACKSHIPS was the OURANG MEDAN

According to our sources. the ship OURANG MEDAN was a BLACK SHIP with passenger decks that made more than one cruise out of Vigo to South America (Argentina and Chile) in 1946 and 1947 with many passengers, primarily high-ranking men of the SS, the ABWEHR and Government Officials.

WHAT CAN ANY OF OUR MEMBERS TELL US ABOUT THESE BLACK BOATS AND SHIPS?

There is much more documentation on this episode of World War II in our RESEARCH CENTER at the moment, but we are awaiting further confirmation from our trusted Chief of SHARKRUNTERS Intefligence, RADM CLOAK 'N DAGGER. We will publish it as soon as we can - but remember, what you read in your history books about the end of World War II is about to be dramatically re-written. Keep reading!
