hi, John,

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.

What kind of escort could another VII C type boat be, against surface ships or aircraft ? In reality, none or nearly none.
An action like that would have put a second boat into danger, besides removing a operative asset from the convoy battle area for approx. 4 weeks

greetings, Urs
