Hi,
I understand that on 21st April 1916 the Irish Republican, Roger Casement, was landed at Banna Strand on Tralee Bay, County Kerry, by U 19 commanded by Raimund Weisbach. Does anyone know if this event is confirmed on the submarine's KTB?
According to the Uboat website the U 19 also sank the British steamer "Feliciana" on the same day 67 miles off Fastnet.
Finally would anyone know the name of the U 19 second-in-command on this patrol?
Thank you and kind regards,
Martin
