<HTML>Hi Pipen,
Happy New Year........
This is all that I could find.
During the night of 3 15/16-41 U-204 put in to Cadiz for refueling by German supply ship Thalia. The boat then went to station near Cap Spartel, Morocco, as part of Breslau group, awaiting the departure of convoy HG-75 from Gibraltar.
On the 19th U-204 is belived to have sunk the tanker MV Inverlee (br 9158t) WSW of Cap Spartel. She was immediately hunted and located by the sloop HMS Rochester (cdr) C B Allen and the corvett HMS Mallow (Lt) W R B Noall.
U-204 was sunk in depth charge attacks-loss all hands
