Thanks Rainer, Its been fun looking into it all, but seems to have been proven wrong... Any ideas for the BdU report that seems to mention an attack on U-383 at 2130?

Correction: Norman Franks states that naval vessels made for the area that U-106 was reported to have been attacked. This site states "allied forces" sent arriving the next day and sinking U-106. Those being allied aircraft, not naval vessels. The latter appear to have (correctly as Franks states) gone to the scene of a 59 Lib attack, not against U-106, but U-383... Partly to blame

Thanks John. Ive been toying with the idea that X/59 attacked U-383 after she was crippled by V/228 at 2002 with 7 DCs. Position of V/228 attack is noted as 47.24N 12.10.W and BF4453... Position of X/59 attack is 47.24N 12.12W. Last signal from U-383 is noted by various sources as either 2130 or 2137... BDU receiving an initial report of attack at 2009... Although the 228 ORB report of the at

According to wikipedia, U-106 had been trying to join E-Boats, when attacked by the 228 Sunderland, probably the three sent out to search for U-383 that had diverted after discovering no sign of U-383 in BF4453 in the early hours of the 2nd. The above report states that they were headed at full speed for BE6940 (46.35N, 11.55W?) Where U-106 was lost.

*CORRECTION TO DATE - 17/10/1943** Oh and also. I found an archive report on uboatarchive that states that U-271 was operating with Group Schlieffen on the 16th and 17th of October... Is this correct or was it supposed to state U-281? As it also shows U-271 as part of the U-488 supply group on the same dates... Thanks again, any help appreciated, Lorenzo.

Hello, just looking for more info on this attack please. Have an attack by Liberator B/59 on this date in "area" so perhaps an approximated position of 59'35'N, 31'40'W. No time is given. ORB notes the following: "Under direction from C/V, in area 59'35'N, 31'40'W, after sending PATRICK, was unlucky enough in two good runs to be able to o
