The USS Muskeget, engaged on weather-reporting duties in the North Atlantic, was sunk by U-755 on 9 September 1942. Until recently details of the sinking have been vague ( [www.uscg.mil]), but in November 2015 an article in the Washington Post added more details (https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/lost-at-sea-during-wwii-weathermen-to-get-their-purple-hearts-at-last/2015/11/18/93d5d908-8980-11e5-be8b-1ae2e4f50f76_story.html?utm_term=.9e36d2456a4a); these came from the U-755 KTB held by the US National Archives.
My main interest is in the British wartime weather ships, and details of their demise are similar to that of the Muskeget (no surprise). I'm just wondering if anyone on the forum has a copy of the U-755 KTB covering 8 to 10 September 1942 which I could read.
