That complacency was shaken on March 3, 1942, when U-587 fired torpedoes at St. John's during the first German attack on North American soil. In the months that followed, U-boats destroyed ships at Lance Cove and Wabana on Bell Island. And in a fatal surface attack on the Newfoundland ferry \u003ci\u003eCaribou\u003c\/i\u003e, German submarines sent it to the bottom of the Atlantic with the loss of 137 lives. \u003ci\u003eBattlefront Newfoundland\u003c\/i\u003e records and preserves the provocative history of Newfoundland and its people during these dramatic years of WWII.
