| Footnote : | U-21 observed a hit aft with a fire column and a big explosion. After 40 sec nothing more was to be seen. On the air two SSS-signals were received, and from these signals the steamer was identified as the Yugoslavian "Vid". This ship was reported to be sunk by U-21 for a Long time; but Loyd's Registers is claiming "Vid" to be identic with the British steamer "Radchurch", which was sunk on Aug.9th, 1942 by U-176/Dierksen (see Attack No. 2). |
