| Bemerkungen : | "The story of S-44 sinking ODESSA is not accepted in Western sources. They claim ODESSA must have hit a mine. I've gone to the effort of a detailed analysis of the movements of S-44 and ODESSA for the weeks before the incident. Their paths crossed exactly at the point and time ODESSA was damaged. I've also checked the minefields laid in the area and haven't found any in that area. However, the two surviving crewmen of S-44 denied ever having torpedoed a ship before S-44 itself was sunk."
