Hi Sid, here is a rough translation of the KTB. Regards, Jerry (www.uboatarchive.net)
23.06.42
16.00 EB 8226
17.10 2-masted schooner in sight bearing 110°T, turned toward, small freight sailing vessel without flag and neutrality markings. Sets a flag after the first 2-cm shots, not distinguishable. Transmits on the 600-meter wave consequently fired again. Drew near. Nothing seen of the crew. Size about 50 GRT. Two non-whites swim in the water. Flag faded, possibly Ecuador or Venezuela
18.16 EB 8234 Threw hand grenades near the hull, sailing vessel sinks immediately. 6-8 men swim out which had been under the deck, all non-white. Continued transit on course 170°.
