Hi, Vidar,
I'm a bit surprised, because dates are not matching...D'Estienne d'Orves was arrested in Nantes on 20/01/1941, transferred to Angers for preliminary interrogation by Gestapo, sent afterwards to Germany for further enquiries,then sent back to Paris for trial by German military court, sentenced to death and shot by firing squad with his two deputies on 29/08/1941. In no case,he has been involved in sabotage, he was only transmitting intelligence information to London.
KL Ali Cremer has certainly been mixing data in his book, but he is no more with us to clear discrepancies. In any case, possible explanations could be that Angers was the place where FdU West, headed by KzS Hans Rösing , was installed in 07/1942,but this town is located more than 100 km from Atlantic, and sabotage on U-Boats is therefore impossible in this place.
Peter Cremer 4th patrol occured in September 1942,one year after execution of d'Estienne d'Orves.
If you wish to know more about d'Estienne D'Orves, please do not hesitate.
