There seems to be some sparse info about regarding the idea that the Southern tip of Fuerteventura,Canary Isles, was at the very least, a R& R area for U-boat crews.
Anyone any further info on this ?
Fuerteventura used by U-boats prior to WW2 ?

Just had a reply on the U-boat forum that the south of Fuerteventura, Spanish Canary Islands , was almost given to a German guy called Winter. There are websites with this info about Winter, and indeed the family home in the SW of 'Fuerte' is called Villa Winter.
A guy called Rainer pulled up a thread from the U-boat site and said that Winter was an Abwehr agent. This comes with no doubt.
I wonder though that Abwehr was riddled with double agents. The head of Abwehr was Admiral CANARIS, who was I think, executed as a traitor to Germany.
