Sinking of RFA Darkdale, St Helena
Posted by: Paul J Marshall ()
Date: January 17, 2001 04:01AM

<HTML>I am a sub-aqua diver who has dived on the wreck of the RFA Darkdale, an oiler/tanker that was sunk by Kapt Karl-Freidrich Merten of U-68 on the night of 21 (or 22nd possibly) October 1941 in Jamestown Harbour, St Helena, South Atlantic Ocean. Whilst I can find details of U-68 I cannot find any specific details of the attack on the Darkdale from the U-boats perspective. Does such information exist, if so where can I obtain it. Grateful for any pointers.


Regards
