And presumably Spindler couldn't find a match because INDUSTRY isn't listed as sunk in "British vessels Lost at Sea", which is pretty much what he was going on when he did volume V about 1940 or so.

This raises two questions: If Spindler thought only one ship (HUNSDON) was sunk on October 18, why would he credit UB 92 with sinking her when he didn't have UB 92's KTB and there was a clear sinking claim in UB 94's KTB? And was INDUSTRY sunk or just damaged (it's certain that she was torpedoed -- I just received a list of the 21 crewmen that died on her from a contact. And 21 dead on a 1460 grt vessel that survived is a lot.)

Best wishes,

Michael
