The story
German submarine U-25 torpedoed and sank British steamer Polzella near the Shetland Islands, Scotland, United Kingdom. When the Norwegian ship Enid came to rescue any potential survivors, U-25 shelled, torpedoed, and sank her. Polzella's entire crew was killed, while Enid's crew of 16 were later rescued by British trawler Granada and Danish merchant ship Kina.
