<HTML>You are right Geoff, I apologize. I answered Sigurður´s question:
Erich Topp in U-552 sank Reykjaborg 10. March 1941; Eitel-Friedrich Kentrat in
U-74 attacked Fróði and damaged it 11. March 1941; Asmus Nicolai Clausen in
U-37 at the time, sank Pétursey 12. March 1941. All these skippers earned the Knight´s Cross of the Iron Cross. Erich Topp is the only one still alive - he sank 36 ships and damaged another four. Kentrat died in 1974 and Clausen was killed when his U-182 was sunk in May 1943 by American destroyers USS MacKenzie and USS Lamb. More info on the skippers in uboat.net own commander section; you can also contact me through e-mail for more info.
Regards,
Yngvi
