The link I put in is to an iffy site, so feel free to Google other sources.
But, in fact, the submarine fleet didn’t have that much success apart from the attacks on ships evacuating civilians and wounded right at the end of the war. The Soviets also had a policy of targeting hospital ships (although the 3 that I mentioned don’t fall in that category).
The evil of the Soviets cannot be overstated.

I believe it, Of all the books and TV documentaries I have seen on WW2 I do not recall seeing anything about Russian submarines.

Sorry, I just noticed your question here. I've been frantically trying to complete multiple research papers this week. Unfortunately, the web site that I occasionally link UK Telegraph articles from didn't mention this story. That's not to say they didn't report it but their "story of the day" on their web site was not on that. Interesting enough it was on another bomber trip.
R.A.F. 'raids' on France - Jul 26, 1939
A total of 243 planes, comprising five different types, and crews totalling 1,200 men, were engaged.
Distances covered ranged from 800 to 1,600 miles non-stop at speeds up to 300 m.p.h. The total distance travelled by all machines was equivalent to 10 times round the world.
The routes taken covered such widely separated areas as Paris, Lyons, Bordeaux and Marseilles. (Click Link for More)

No, they have a link that they do recaps of stories from WWII. Coincidentally they are on a 70 years ago time frame too which works out real good for us. Here's a link to the "Britian At War" topic on their web site which is tracking the build up to war 70 years ago.
