Another true story- WW2 Yank subs flushed stuff into a holding tank, then once a day flushed it all out. Sensible approach. One day, one sub, depth-charging, valve broke on the tank, stuff kept pouring out. Ensign Rex Murphy sent into the loo to hold the valve down, which he did, for 2 hours, sometimes losing his grip because of a depth-charge. Bravest man in the Navy, he was called afterwards.
OK .. there is no listing for a U-Boat being captured off Scotland. Irish Sea, North Atlantic and a few other spots yes. Scotland, no. So I have to think this entire story is ... BullSh$t.
He was probably happier to have to surrender rather than explain to U-boot command how he screwed up his sub.
Yeah and we didn’t have to be a POW very long because the war ended a few weeks later.

Well, at least I'm certain that the u-boat crew was given fresh food, new clothes, and plenty of good bathing.

It’s actually real. Search U-1206. That’s the name of the specific submarine this happened to.
