U853 29 April - 4 July 1944

U853 left Bergen on 29 April 1944 for a mid-Atlantic weather reporting patrol, berthing 67 days later at L'Orient, on 4 July. From the patrol details on u-boat net I estimate that after leaving Bergen the submarine sailed to about 30W south of Iceland before turning south.

I would appreciate confirmation that my estimate of the southward track was down longitude 30W or, even better, U853's positions between 28 May and 6 June.
