Hello Stavros,

hm, well

1) it was the austro-hungarian U 41 which left Pola on 17.03.1918 at 17:30h, but passed the Straits of Otranto on the night 19. to 20.03.1918 (not in the morning) but than went on to operate East of Malta. The boat was in Position 37°08‘N-17°52‘E at 12:00h on 21.03.1918 for example.

2) it was the German UC 37 which was of Kalamata, but ...

left Cattaro on 16.03.1918 at 8:00h, passed the Straits of Otranto on 17.03.1918 in the morning and was laying an barrier of 12 mines just 800 metres off Kalamata Pier on the morning of 19.03.1918.

On 21.03.1918 the boat already was off Milo Island. All dates two days earlier than asked by you, except boat leaving Cattaro, not Pola ...

So, I don't know, seems to be an mixup between kuk U 41 and German UC 37 but not really authentic... !?

Oliver
