I am after details of prevailing weather conditions. Or any comments with regard to the weather. I have already digested the information given by Spindler in Band 4.
The wreck of E49 was found with the periscope fully extended. As you will know, the wreck is within a narrow channel. It would be unconventional for a British boat to dive and make a trim dive within such a place. The periscope can only have been raised to aid navigation in high seas and presumably bad visibility. yet eye witnesses on land could see E49 clear enough and the boat was less than 400m from a lighthouse !
