Re: U-2511 and HMS Norfolk

Sorry to correct you guys, but HMS Norfolk departed several hours after the destroyers from the carrier group and sailed independently at 26 to 27 knots towards Scapa (source: log book of HMS Norfolk). There was no destroyer screen around her and hence no opportunity for Schnee to carry out an attack as described by the CO of U 2511. In a paper of mine published several years ago I came to the conclusion that the whole story on the reported mock attack is probably faked.
