Re: C/333 Catalina attack on 17/05/1944 - U-241 or U-240 (18th)?

U-965 had left the U-boat group earlier due to a defective periscope and was heading for Narvik when a periscope was sighted in a distance of 600 meters in grid AF3754 at 21.45 hours on 17 May 1944. The U-boat immediately turned hard away and crash dived, observing one torpedo track to miss ahead after apparently hearing the launch of four torpedoes.

It is not known yet which submarine carried out this unsuccessful attack.
