| Footnote : | U-88 obviously attacked "Peter Kerr" in quadrant AC 2974, as this would better relate to her sinking position 74°30'N / 35°E, than the position of "Carlton". But according to Allied sources "Peter Kerr" was sunk by flying bombs, wheras "Carlton" was sunk by an U-boat attack. Perhaps the positions of both ships were puzzeled in the official sources? |
