Attacks on U-99 during this patrol
21 Jun 1940
The boat, while inbound to Bergen with a sick crewman, sailed into the path of the German battlecruiser Scharnhorst and its Ar196 scout aircraft mistook the boat for a British submarine attacking it causing damages that forced the boat back to Germany for repairs. (Sources: Blair, vol 1, page 171)
23 Jun 1940
The damaged boat was returning from Bergen to Wilhelmshaven when bombed by aircraft twice that day, causing only minor damage. (Sources: Ritschel)
