Attacks on U-757 during this patrol
16 Mar 1943
While inbound with injured personnel (and travelling with U-359) the boats were attacked by an unknown B-24 Liberator bomber but manged to drive her off. The U-757 was already seriously damaged from an earlier action and did not sail again for months. (Sources: Blair, vol 2, page 255)
