it's for sure that there was no ship Köln nor any other german merchant ship in the vicinity. All german merchant ships still at sea at this moment had either to join Spain when they came from the south or to cross the Danemark Street when the came from the north.So means that there was one south west of Ireland. The light cruiser Köln was in the Baltic sea at the begin of the war.So probably there was a misunderstanding. Perhaps Heinicke told simply that the "coast" is at 200nm and he understoud "Köln/Cologne". Anyway in the KTB there is no other indication than that he wanted to tow them to the Irish coast, nor any indication of communication with another german ship.
