Re: U-77

The first research work to identify ships sunk by U-boats was "B.R.1337 British and Foreign Merchant Vessels Lost or Damaged by Enemy Action During the Second World War." published by the Trade Division in October 1945, which was continuously updated when the captured German documents were analyzed to find the whereabouts of the ships reported as missing.

I don't know if the loss of ARAKAKA was already attributed to U-77 in BR1337, but it must have been clear that the ship claimed by this U-boat could not have been the Greek freighter ALEXANDRA because she survived the war.
