Loss of U 90
Posted by: Brian V. ()

According to this site, as well as the majority of available literature on the subject, U 90 was sunk 24/7/42 by RCN destroyer St. Croix.

However, the KTB der U-bootwaffe (as transcribed in [uboatarchive.net]) has an entry as follows:

"U 90, Oldeorp, first trip, no more reports after attacking convoy east of Newfoundland Bank on 28.7.42."

If the boat made contact with base on the 28th, she could not have been sunk 4 day earlier. Any thoughts on the subject would be appreciated,

Regards,
Brian
