Attack On Convoy OB-197 14th August 1940

I have a report relating to convoy OB-197 that states it was attacked on the night of 14 August 1940 at 2024 hours in position 55-44N 09-06W. I have been trying to establish the identity of the uboat, if indeed there was an attack as reported. I have been able to eliminate nearly all of the uboats that were operating in the North Channel area on this day. The only boat that I do not have a ktb for would seem to be the most likely candidate also. If anybody has the ktb for U-60 could they look at 14 August and see if they attacked a westbound convoy.

Of course there very well may have been no attack but its worth checking out.

Regards,

Mark
