<HTML>Hi Siri
Rohwer lists in column 14 the position of the vessel according to the data of the Allied authorities. In this case the Allied had only the position of the first attack, that\'s why he used the position in the second attack.
U 225 had attacked the convoy ONS-154 ten minutes after U 591 on 28 December 1942 and claimed to have sunk two ships and probably sunk two others. (She actually sunk one ship and damaged another).
The Norse King was hit ten minutes earlier than the other ships, so we can say that it was definitely U 591 who damaged the Norse King and U 435 sank her on the next day.

Rainer
