Jay,

Please do let me ask why the Abschüssmeldung for this claim, which was clearly (it is documented and had been cross-checked and positively identified) recorded by Drewes' crew is so essential? To determine the time or type of attack?

I do not remember by heart if he mentioned this victory onto his memories...if you are able to read German, maybe you can find his book in German language. The portuguese version is almost non-existent anymore and the prices sought for those books are extremely high nowadays.

Have you met him personally when the wreck was excavated ?

I remember quite clearly what he said to me, regarding this particular loss and the meeting on a lunch at his home town. Can send to you privately if you do wish so.
