<HTML>Hello kpp

Thank's a lot for this infos. Some white patches less for me. I stepped a little deeper into these attacks and found this:

July 5th attack was made by OSU2 aircraft too. It belongs to VS-2, the same unit witch attacked U-129 on july 18th again. The attacks of 5th are shown in this way:
12:30 o'clock in position 21°40'N-85°40'W
15:00 o'clock in position 21°45'N-85°38'W
target propably slightly damaged (Gulf Sea Frontier)

July 18th attack was made by VS-2 with a OSU2 aircraft:
17:22 o'clock in position 22°20'N-85°35'W
no more details given (Gulf Sea Frontier)

July 22nd attack was made by a Catalina (PBY-5) of VP-81:
04:20 o'clock in position 23°29'N-81°47'W
no more details given

What I don't understand is the minimal time difference of just two hours between german and US time. Any expanation?

Best regards
Roland Berr

PS: It seems that no mexican aircraft attacked U-129</HTML>
