In the suddenness of the action, many of the survivors believed German destroyers were picking them up and the first few moments were a time of utter confusion. LCdr Stubbs appeared alongside a group in a Carley float with burns to his hands and face but otherwise in fair condition, stating that he was blown off the bridge shortly after the second torpedo strike. He was seen moving from group to group in the water in these first few moments as LCdr DeWolf announced <i>Haida<\/i> would remain in the area for 15 more minutes to pick up survivors. Eyewitness accounts indicated that LCdr Stubbs insisted on remaining in the water until all his crew was picked up. Finally when<i> Haida\u2019s<\/i> 15 minutes are up, it was LCdr Stubbs from his position in the water alongside <i>Haida <\/i>who shouted<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cGet out of here <i>Haida!<\/i> E-boats!\u201d In a heart-wrenching move, <i>Haida <\/i>slowly pulled away even though the surface was still littered with survivors, losing two of her own crew who were on scramble nets assisting some of the injured <i>Athabaskans<\/i> out of the water. When the tally is taken, just 45 of HMCS <i>Athabaskan<\/i>\u2019s crew were on board <i>Haida<\/i> with the last one being dragged up a lifeline as the ship departed the area.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>As<i> Haida<\/i> headed north away from the Brittany coastline, she left her lifeboats and cutter with three crew aboard to continue rescue operations. At 0448, Plymouth HQ radioed that two Motor Torpedo Boats were also enroute to assist.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4981\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4981\" style=\"width: 344px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4981\" src=\"https:\/\/tridentnewspaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/HMCS-ATHAB-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"344\" height=\"271\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tridentnewspaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/HMCS-ATHAB-2.jpg 2956w, https:\/\/tridentnewspaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/HMCS-ATHAB-2-300x236.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tridentnewspaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/HMCS-ATHAB-2-768x605.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tridentnewspaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/HMCS-ATHAB-2-1024x806.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tridentnewspaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/HMCS-ATHAB-2-650x512.jpg 650w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 344px) 100vw, 344px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4981\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">LCdr John Stubbs\u2019 gravestone is seen, along with the gravestones of some his sailors who perished at sea alongside him, at the Plouescat Communal Cemetery in Finistere, France.<br \/>MUS\u00c9E NAVAL D'HALIFAX<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\">On <i>Haida, Athabaskan<\/i> survivors were quickly stripped of their oil soaked clothes and wrapped in blankets and <i>Haida<\/i>\u2019s crew turned all their efforts to ensuring maximum comfort for the survivors. As <i>Haida <\/i>steadily increased the distance from <i>Athabaskan<\/i>\u2019s sinking, full speed was rung on. Muttered one of <i>Haida<\/i>\u2019s stokers, \u201cWe must be doing 35 knots.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Unknown to the survivors still in the water, <i>Haida<\/i> was not returning and the order for the two MTBs to proceed to the area had been rescinded due to approaching daylight. On the water\u2019s surface, the deepest of despair settles in and cries cursing everyone from mothers and fathers to <i>Haida <\/i>to the RCN to God himself echoed across the water. All around, lifeless bodies slipped from the grasp of others or slowly just faded into the darkness. It is the greatest irony that the first rescue craft on the scene were two German minesweepers and none other than T-24, <i>Athabaskan<\/i>\u2019s adversary of a few hours earlier. For many in the water though, their last battle has been fought and lost from injuries, burns, exposure, or simply complete exhaustion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">On T-24, the survivors were treated surprisingly well considering the viscousness of the battles over the last few days between these foes.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Hot tea and cigarettes were brought topside and in most cases survivors were permitted to shower in order to wash off oil. All their clothing was thrown overboard and the wounded weregiven blankets. T-24 continued toward Brest being strafed by two RAF Spitfires around noon, arriving at 1500 but not before two more <i>Athabaskans <\/i>succumbed to their wounds and were quietly lowered over the side.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The first <i>Athabaskans<\/i> ashore were 28 men picked up by a German Air\/Sea Rescue Launch arriving alongside in Brest just after 0900.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Unfortunately, one, a badly burned stoker died in his stretcher on the quay while awaiting transportation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Meanwhile, <i>Haida<\/i>\u2019s cutter had picked up six survivors and was heading west under the protest of the cutter\u2019s engine, which due to inactivity led to many starts and stops. Just before being picked up by British Air\/Sea Rescue, the cutter was overflown by two Messerschmitt 109s, which circled but did not fire. The cutter was taken under tow into Penzance at Land\u2019s End.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>The Aftermath<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In Brest, survivors were broken into small groups and most were sent to two prison camps near Bremen, Germany but not before being given the grisly task of identifying bodies washed ashore in and around Brest. Over the following days, many Athabaskans\u2019 bodies came to rest on the shores, the largest group(59) found on the Brittany coast near Plouescat. It was this group that included the body of LCdr Stubbs. The seriously injured were sent to an Army Hospital in Orleans, France and were repatriated back to Canada when the U.S. 5<sup>.<\/sup> Army encircled Paris in August, liberating them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">At 0840 on April 29,1944, <i>Haida<\/i> arrived in Plymouth to a hero\u2019s welcome. The loss of <i>Athabaskan<\/i> and the uncertainty of her survivors overshadowed any festivities and <i>Athabaskan<\/i> became another wartime statistic as the RCN\u2019s 16<sup>.<\/sup> vessel lost in this, one of the last major actions in the Atlantic in the Second World War.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Epilogue<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In the investigation following the sinking of <i>Athabaskan,<\/i> many questions were unanswered, remaining so to this day. The chief reason given by the Royal Navy for canceling their dispatch of two destroyers and two MTBs for rescue was the threat of German air attack. At this stage of the war, the Luftwaffe was reeling after two years of continual day and night bombing of Germany\u2019s industrial centers. Its strength greatly depleted, it is unlikely the Luftwaffe Command would use resources to hamper a British rescue effort of dead and dying sailors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">On the other hand, Allied fighter pilots regularly swarmed over Channel ports, destroying anything flying a German flag. Through all this, Kapitanleutnant Wilhelm Meentzen and the crew of T-24 remained on station under constant threat of Allied air attack until every measure was taken to rescue all survivors. Under nothing but a personal moral obligation, Meentzen\u2019s sense of compassion forced him to continue. There can be no doubt as to the fate of the 87 survivors he picked up had he not chosen the course he did.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The story of <i>Athabaskan<\/i>\u2019s demise is one of many in the annals of our wartime history.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Battle Honours:<\/strong><br \/>\nBay of Biscay-1943<br \/>\nArctic-1943-44<br \/>\nEnglish Channel-1944<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Remember what these and the Battle Honours bestowed upon each of our Fleet\u2019s ships and the people who sailed them during those darkest days mean.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The rescue of HMCS Athabaskan: We fight as one By CPO1 (Ret\u2019d) Patrick Devenish, Canadian Naval Memorial Trust This is the second of 2 parts.
