From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eisbär (english: Polar Bear) was a wolf pack of German U-boats that operated from August 23 to August 29, 1942 in World War II. This pack was assembled to operate in the South Atlantic off Cape Town which was considered to be virgin waters. Some of the most experienced U-boat commanders available such as Harald Gelhaus, Werner Hartenstein and Carl Emmermann were included.
