U-476 - more info required please.
Posted by: Lorenzo59 ()

Hello all. I'm just researching 59 Sqdn RAF attacks and sinkings and have an unidentified attack on the 24/05/1944.

Position U-476 was scuttled is recorded as 65.08N, 04.53E, at 0102hrs on the 25/05.

I have an unidentified attack in position 65.18N 0628E. At 0147hrs on 24/05.

Firstly, is there anymore information available in regards to position and time of the attack on this boat by the 210 Sqdn Catalina on the 24/05? And secondly is there any record of an attack at 0147hrs?

A little bit of info on the 59 Sqdn attack at 0147. Surfacing u-boat sighted in position noted above. One attack made with 6x250lbs DC. Straddle aft of C.T. Second attack made with 2 further DC, u-boat now fully surfaced. Hits scored on C.T by all guns. All DC's however, had been released "safe" and not due to mechanical error...

Any help greatly appreciated.

Lorenzo.
