Hi John

U-97 was sunk on 16 June 1943, the survivors were spotted the next day by a Walrus flying boat (701 Sqn FAA) which landed to assist them, but could only take one man aboard. The motor launch HMS ML-350 rescued the remaining 20 survivors.

On 20 Aug, 1944, the Soviet Black Fleet carried out a massive air raid on the harbor of Konstanza with 62 medium bombers and 80 fighters and Il-2 ground attack aircraft. U-9 sank at its berth after a direct bomb hit on her bow.

Best regards
