A strange feeling. You know I thought of my comrades when the news came. It is Knut Eeg Nielsen on Solvang in Tønsberg who says this. He speaks of the wreck of the H.Nor.M. Submarine "Uredd" Uredd was recently found at the Helgeland coast of Norway. If Eeg Nielsen had had his way he would have been onboard the sub,s last mission, winter 1943. The mission that ended in a minefield on the Norwegian coast line. Eeg Nielsen was the asdic man on board the Uredd and was ordered to transfer to another sub just before the fatal mission with agents to Northern Norway. His application to stay onboard Uredd was denied. Both Eeg Nielsen and Georg Næss , another veteran from the submarines says that the finding of the wreck has made a deep impression
