Re: Allied airmen rescued by German U-boats

http://www.greenharbor.com/ROHPDF/ROHAU43.pdf

it is stated that on 1st august 1943 Ploesti mission 42-40780 (pilot Fred H Jones) of 44BG 66BS ditched into mediterranean and that they were helped by a german submarine, which however withdrew and let them alone. Can somebody identify that submarine? I never found one near to the ditching site supposedly 30 miles south of Corfu.

best wishes,
FrankieS
