Re: U-boat off the Maine coast on 07.02.1945?

Hi Rainer and Fred,

Rainer: Many thanks for your suggestion. U-869 could indeed have the time to move from off the Maine coast to the location where she was sunk. She was on her way to Quadrat CA 53 (SE of New York) and apparently came from the north, probably following at a distance from the coast. The discovery of her wreck made a lot of ink some years ago.

Fred: I was definitely asking for 07.02.1945. The search was fruitless but one of the vessels involved was USS KOINER who was (many years later) credited with the sinking of U-869 on 11.02.1945.

Have a Happy New Year!

Platon
