Hi kpp

As I said I'm new to all this so please be patient, I'm trying to understand where the information comes from and why it differs!

Messimer gives different dates and positions for U75 ie lost due to ramming, 31.5.18 at 53°57'N 0°9'W (references given) and little information on U77 (references given)

I'm interested to know why your information is more accurate and reliable than the references given by Messimer?
