Hi,


I recently read in Gary Staff’s book “Battle On the Seven Seas” that on 18 August 1914, the German cruiser Strassburg sighted the submarines E 5 and E 7 in the southern North Sea. The cruiser opened fire and the boats dived. There were no hits.

I wonder if this encounter could somehow be the starting point of the claim that E 5 was supposedly sunk by Strassburg? I realize the dates are way off, but information can get so distorted on the internet sometimes..
