The Attack on Aruba was an attack on oil installations and tankers by Axis submarines during World War II. On 16 February 1942, a German U-boat attacked the small Dutch island of Aruba. Other submarines patrolled the area for shipping and they sank or damaged tankers. Aruba was home to two of the largest oil refineries in the world during the war against the Axis powers, the Arend Petroleum Maatschappij, situated near the Oranjestad harbor, and the Lago Oil and Transport Company at the San Nicolas harbor. The attack resulted in the disruption of vital Allied fuel production.

  • Der von deutschen und italienischen U-Booten durchgeführte Angriff auf Aruba, erfolgte am 16. Februar 1942. Er führte zum ersten Beschuss Amerikas durch die Achsenmächte während des Zweiten Weltkrieges und diente der Unterbrechung der für eine erfolgreiche alliierte Kriegsführung wichtigen alliierten Brennstoffproduktion. Die kleinen Inseln Aruba und Curaçao, etwa 27 km nördlich von Venezuela, waren seinerzeit Standorte der weltgrößten Erdölraffinerien. (de)

  • L'attaque sur Aruba était une attaque contre les installations pétrolières et les pétroliers par les sous-marins de l'Axe pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Le 16 février 1942, un sous-marin allemand attaqua la petite île d'Aruba. D’autres sous-marins patrouillaient la zone et ils coulèrent ou endommagèrent des pétroliers. Aruba abritait deux des plus grandes raffineries de pétrole au monde pendant la guerre contre les puissances de l'Axe, l'Arend Petroleum Maatschappij, situé près du port d’Oranjestad et la située au port de San Nicolas. L'attaque entraîna la perturbation de la production de carburant, essentiel pour les Alliés. (fr)
  • Нападение на Арубу — часть плана стран «оси» во время Второй мировой войны по атаке и выведению из строя нефтяных объектов союзников. Часть немецких вооружённых сил совершили 16 февраля 1942 года рейд на остров Аруба, в то время как остальные силы, патрулируя зону поступления нефтяных поставок, потопили и повредили танкеры. В те времена на острове базировались два крупнейших нефтеперерабатывающих завода в мире — «Arend Petroleum Maatschappij» (гавань Ораньестада) и «Lago Oil and Transport Company» (гавань Синт-Николас). Вследствие нарушения поставок сырья нефтеперерабатывающий процесс был нарушен, что повлекло за собой прекращение производства топлива для союзников. (ru)
