Re: Paul-Hugo Kettner - "Anneberg" sinking

Gerard, a ship that had to be sunk by an Allied escort is usually fully credited to the U-boat that hit it. The reason for this is simple, the ship was damaged so badly that it would sink on its own earlier or later. The escorts sometimes only hastened the sinking of such a vessel because drifting wrecks would have been a menace to navigation.
