You are welcome, as always. I cannot say anything definitive regarding the escorts, because I only have this one book as a source, but the text I translated would suggest that Leesee was part of the main body of the convoy, not the laggard ship which may have been escorted by Uj 1207 alone.

These Finnish reports are very interesting, I have sent you a private message describing how they may relate to the research that I am doing.
