U-69 and convoy OB.288
Posted by: Brian V. ()

According to this website's daily events for 24/2, in 1941:

?? U-69: After a night attack on the convoy OB-288, the U-boat was attacked for three hours by one of the escorts with 22 depth charges, but escaped undamaged.

However, U-69 was not one of the boats which attacked the convoy. The entry quotes Kenneth Wynn as source. It is obvious one of the sources is incorrect, would anyone know the correct identity of the boat which was attacked by the escorts and of the attacking escort?

Thanks, Brian
