Inconsistency in Rohwer
Posted by: Jan-Olof ()

<HTML>I was browsing around Siri Lawsons excellent site www.warsailors.com. It contains alot of information about the Norwegian merchant fleet during WW2. She has uncovered what I believe is an error in Rohwer\'s book, and I thought this was something for the sleuths here at the forums to sink their teeths into.

Here\'s the deal:

On page 150 in \'Axis Submarine Successes...\' Rohwer claims that the Norwegian vessel Thorsholm was damaged by a mine laid by U 118 on february 22. So far everything is in order, but the position of this incident is close to Gibraltar. That\'s where U 118 in fact laid the mines three weeks earlier. However, in column 8 it is claimed that the Thorsholm was a straggler of convoy ON 166. As far as I know, the ON convoys never sailed close to Gibraltar. What do you think?
