| Footnote : | U-1020/Eberlein was ordered to an operational area east of Pentland Firth. Destroyer "Zephyr" was damaged west of Pentland Firth. British expert witnesses established "slight damage" possibly by drifting mine, but probably not by torpedo hit. Moreover there isn't any attack report, and it is unclear, if U-1020 really reached its operational area before being sunk. |
