<HTML>Hi Magnus and Michael
I can add some more details. August was stopped the 10. June at 2200 by UC58 and after the swedish crew (5 men) had left it, it was sunk with explosives placed in the bow. August was loaded with 210 t. of felspar and sunk with the bow first within a few minutes. Afterwards UC58 towed the lifeboat towards Understen Lighthouse.
