Re: U-196 found off New Zealand ?

Hi Simon, having read the newspaper article, the obvious error to me being U 196 went missing very soon after sailing from Batavia, in or near the Sundra straits. she was on a war patrol to the Indian Ocean, and would not of had time to reach NZ. her voyage from Europe was again a war patrol that brought some success as well as nearly being found and destroyed, surely the C/O would not risk any passengers or 'booty'??. We need the wreck identifing, before speculation runs amok. - regards john
