Summary
NfO synopsis: German submarines at sea, engaging in military action
Researcher Comments
The film carries German intertitles. The opening frames state part 4. At 9 min. 34 secs. this may be a short film rather than news footage. The U 178 mentioned was manufactured in 1918 so likely this was shot in the summer of 1918 (suggestion from Imperial War Museum). Issue number and release date unknown. Taken as unreleased.
