<HTML>I hope anyone can help me locating a u-boat that attacked Icelandic trawlers in 1941.
The first and the biggest one, Reykjaborg 685brt. on her way to England was sunken 10/3 1941 about 140miles off the coast of England. Thirteen died and two survivors.
The second one, Fróði was sunken 11/3 1941. Five died but the boat made it back to Iceland.
The third one was, Pétursey wich was last seen 240miles off the Vestman islands Iceland. With all hands lost the boat was never seen again.
It is said that in all cases it must have been the same u-boat.
The few survivors said it was a fierce attack and no changes to man the lifeboats.
Thanks in advance.
