hi, John,

Question why

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
