Remark: U633, Verlustpos.
Changes: 1) Kolbicz, 18.07.02: Angreifer wahrsch. U633 (+ 10/1025 in AK 2678)
2) Niestlé, 22.03.06: Die GUIDO-Verlustposition 58.08n 32.20w [nach BR.1367] ist sicherlich zu weit westlich. Die im Escort-Bericht genannte Position 58.21n 31.08w [= AK 2684] bzw. von USCGC "Spencer" angegebene Position 58.19n 31.23w [= AK 2676] passt wesentlich besser.
