Some details concerning the landing on June 13, 1942 near the village of Amagansett which was like a macabre comedy: U-202 stranded 200 m from the beach on a sandbank and got out, already prepared for blasting, just in time before sunrise. Later, Georg John Dasch was nearly drawned when falling out of the dinghie. In the dunes he was discovered by the 21 years old coast guard John Cullen. The spies, still wearing german uniforms, told him they were fishermen and gave him 260 $ hush money and asked him to forget them, but he did not.
