U209

Should the loss of the crew been avoided U209 having sustained structural damaged on May 4th, combined with that she was also unable to radio BdU, yet U954 on 5th or 6th informed BdU of her plight, and presumably passed on the order from BdU for her to return, then left her to her fate. Not arriving back, which should have been on the 19th, U209 was posted missing as she had no way of replying to a positional request. Question why would U954 leave her in such a precarious condition so far from a base?. or even not to escort her until she could have sea or air protection and also by staying would have put her with U209 when she got into trouble.
