This may help somewhat.
U-156 lost seaman Businger after a misfire of the 105 mm deck cannon.
From the log book he was buried at sea at 6:30 pm on the 16 February 1942.
The captain of U-156,Hartenstein "intoned the Lord's Prayer, the crew sang
"I Had a Comrade" and Businger was "delivered to the sea with full military honors".
This was after an attack on the Lago Oil Refinery in Aruba at 1:30 am 16 February.
