| Footnote : | On 16-17 August "Negers" were used for the last time, when 42 of them started out. Only 16 survived their attack and returned to Le Havre, as Villers-sur-Mer had been destroyed from the rolling back German frontier in those days. - Paul Kemp doesn't believe, that the training ship HMS "Fratton", which laid at anchor when being sunk by an underwater explosion on August 18th, was attacked by a human torpedo so late after departure. |
