<r>Bonsoir Volvague,<br/> <br/> well, at least there's this book on the German submarines (not surface ships), where you can find details for every single German U-boat delivered to the allied powers after the armistice:<br/> <br/> see here:<br/> <URL url="http://www.dubm.de/gothling_wolfgang-1.html...

<r>Bonjour Olivier,<br/> <br/> well, the German official history just have not enough pages to cover all the incidents, especially during 1917 with more than 3.000 ships sunk!

Bonjour,

Oliver

Oliver

Oliver

UB 55 doesn't mention an attack against an sailing vessel after sinking BEGONIA !

Bonjour,

no, it wasn't UB 49, I have seen her war diary (KTB). Obviously an false alarm!

Oliver

hm, 37°42'N-00°36'W - that is North-East of Cabo de Palos, not South-East of Cabo de Gata, a few miles away!

Otherwise everything matches, eaven the time.
