Hi John

I've finished my research about the sinking of MEMNON and updated our page about this ship today: [uboat.net]

It is clear from primary sources that 24 men from this ship were interned by the Vichy French authorities after arriving at Dakar, including one gunner and three military passengers. The other three passengers were in the lifeboat that made it to Bathurst, so it is clear that none of them ended up in German captivity and the story with GNEISENAU is bogus.

Best regards
