Battle of the Bell islands
Bell Island and Little Bell Island are one of the few locations in North America that German forces directly attacked during the Second World War. U-boats raided the island twice in 1942, sinking four ore carriers and killing more than 60 men.〔http://www.heritage.nf.ca/articles/politics/bell-island-sinkings.php〕 The Sydney to Port-aux-Basques passenger ferry SS Caribou was sunk in the Gulf of St. Lawrence with the loss of 136 people, including women and children, and four ore carriers were torpedoed at anchor at Wabana, Bell Island, killing 69 men.〔http://www.seethesites.ca/designations/the-u-boat-attacks-on-the-bell-island-ore-ships-in-1942.aspx〕 It was later discovered that a spy was involved. On board U-518 was Werner von Janowski, an agent of Germany’s Abwehr intelligence service. At the request of the Newfoundland Commission of Government, Canadian authorities developed defensive plans in case the Germans tried to capture St. John's.
