During WWII, many German U-Boats operated in the Arctic Sea to attack Allied convoys, as many of them passed through that area, both to reach the Soviet port of Murmansk, but also convoys on their way to Great Britain.
U-Boat warfare in the Arctic Ocean lasted until 29th April 1945, when the last convoy attack of the entire war took place, with U-286 sinking the freighter HMS Goodall.
The following is footage from a German submarine operating in the area, coming under attack from enemy planes and diving. It was taken inside the submarine and shows the crew trying to evade the bombs, including footage from the crew repairing a water leak.
It is unknown when exactly the footage was taken, or how much of it is actually real or staged, but it was shown in German propaganda newsreels released on August 10th, 1944.
