I knew about the WWII surrender, didn't realise this happened.

A model U-boat has been created to commemorate the mass surrender of Germany's submarines on the Essex coast at the end of World War One.
More than 160 U-boats surrendered at Harwich in November 1918, at one point stretching in a line two miles (3km) long.
While most were taken to go on display, many were left beached at Harwich before eventually going into the sea.
The model has been created as part of centenary celebrations.
It measures 15ft (4.6m) long, is made of willow and sits on Dovercourt Beach.
