Amanda, I cannot send a PM to you either: very odd, I will report it to Gummi and hope it is something simple. In the meantime, please email me.


My interest centres on two aspects of OG71, and both seem to be key to your quest to understand 'what happened'.
1: The Submarine Tracking Room in London was caught out on this occasion, and it would be useful to me to know (a) why and (b) what they learned from it from their point of view.
2: The escorts were no less competant and no fewer than for other convoys, yet they were seriously ineffective: did the Admiralty enquiry into the convoys fate find fault other than that mentioned in 'Nightmare Convoy'?

It is only by comparing declassified material from several different sources that the whole picture will emerge as to the actions arising from the Admiralty enquiry, and it is possible that there is no answer formally recorded as to the situation in the Submarine Tracking Room. If I can't find answers, I will setle for clues.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Regards,
Bruce
