| Footnote : | KTB BdU reports an attack of U-932 against a steamer of 5-6000 ts. The number must have been a print mistake, as U-932 was never put to service. - U-952/Curio could not have been the attacker, as his boat had been S/Iceland (AJ2132) at the time of the attack. - Following ULTRA signals, U-732 had been the boat, which reported a hit with the magnetic pistol in a radio telegram to B.d.U. |
