I knew that intelligence thought the Nazis had made it to the St Lawrence River but here is proof they got further.

There is absolutely no possible way a submarine could have made it into Lake Ontario. Clearly the author of this lie doesnt know his geography...there is a series of locks it would have to negotiate between Montreal and Lake Ontario that you couldn't hide a submarine in.

I saw World News and didn't read any further I thought it was something else. Well, I was wrong still another time, my bad. I can add this name to my growing list of false reports; it will be right under CNN. Thanks for straightening the whole mess out :thumbup:

Before the locks, there were Rapids. Kinda tough on the hull.

Someone posted this a couple of months ago. Good "story," but that's all it is.

"As with all of World News Daily Report's content, the Nazi sub story was entirely fabricated. The article used an unrelated image of a rusting, decommissioned Russian submarine from the Cold War era to illustrate the claim, not a picture of a genuine World War II-era German U-boat.

World News Daily Report is a fake news site that regularly publishes wild and sensational false claims to drive social media share-based traffic and generate thereby ad revenues. Its disclaimer plainly states that the site's articles are fictional:

WNDR assumes however all responsibility for the satirical nature of its articles and for the fictional nature of their content. All characters appearing in the articles in this website — even those based on real people — are entirely fictional and any resemblance between them and any persons, living, dead, or undead is purely a miracle."

This already has been debunked. There is no way a submarine could have made it farther inland than Quebec City. At the time, there were rapids, canals and locks at Montreal, Cornwall and Niagara. (Today it's the St. Lawrence Seaway.)
Some German U Boats indeed were active in the Gulf of St. Lawrence but it would have been impossible to go past these natural and man made barriers.

Well it looks like the cat is out of the bag.
The sub came up the St Lawrence, parked in Massena, hopped on a Greyhound bus and ventured to Syracuse to see Luke Bryan saturday night at the Carrier Dome. I would assume they are gone by now.
