<HTML>Hi Brian
As far as I know, I never saw such assessment. Lloyd's has such a list and it is somewhat possible to try to correlate them. At least when sinking happened in an identified area known to having been mined by a submarine. U-Boats mining fields are more or less well identified thanks to Spindler. I suppose that those who have the whole part of Der Krieg zur See can find as well the mining fields linked with surface ships and there are probably much more sources.
I have no idea if such work has already been done but it is not impossible to do as far as the exact place where the mine explosion occured, is still known without consulting tons of archives.
I agree with you they should be inserted in the boat's records.
