| Footnote : | It is not definitely clear, whether U-527 had really attacked "Guido". Attacking time 8:35 MET does not really fit with sinking time 8:55 GMT, as the difference is more than 1 hour. - But the attack position of U-527 at 1745/09 must have been indeed nearby "Guido". A short DC-attack (by USCGC "Spencer") ist also reported in the logbook of U-527. |
