Wolfpacks

This Wolfpack operated from 19 Jan 1943 to 15 Feb 1943.

Notes: On 15 Feb 5 U-boats leave the pack and form wolfpack Nordsturm to attack convoy SG-19. Some of those boats rejoin the pack afterwards. On 9 Feb the pack is reformed as some boats leave for port while others leave for the attack against SC-118.
