U-505 - War Bond Tours in 1945
Posted by: Derek Waller ()

Dear All,

Shortly after the end of the war in Europe in mid-1945, U-505 was moved to the USA from Bermuda, and it then undertook 2 War Bond Tours. One to the US East Coast ports, and then one to the US Caribbean ports.

I suspect that the first Tour took place in July 1945, and that the second Tour took place in August 1945.

However, despite all the information that has been published about U-505 subsequently, the precise details of its transfer from Bermuda and these 2 War Bond Tours are still somewhat “cloudy”.

What I know so far is that USS Eunice (PCE 846) was the escort for the first one, and that on 1 August USS Neunzer (DE-150) sailed to New London to escort U-505 on it's War Bond Tour of the Gulf.

I am therefore looking for are the exact start and finish dates (and places) of the Tours, and I wonder if there is anyone who can possibly help me - please?

Finally, I am sorry if I am asking a question to which there is an obvious and easily accessible answer and, if that is so, I should be most grateful to be pointed in the “right” direction.

Yours aye

Derek
