The locale appears to be in New York. The US Navy took 58 prisoners from U-505, three of them wounded. The crew were interned at Camp Ruston, near Ruston, Louisiana, with their existence being kept a secret so that the submarine had been sunk rather than captured could be preserved. After V-E Day, the boat was used to promote Bond sales as part of the "Mighty 7th" War Loan drive, and in June 1945, she visited New York City, Philadelphia, and Baltimore. The last of the German captives returned home in 1947. Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed.
