Re: 20 May 1940 French sub bombed.
This sub arrived from France the 18th april1940 to Harwich than to Dundee ( a few french sub where send in England to help the british navy to survey the north sea).
The Achille left Dundee the 7 may for a patrol in the north sea.
The 20 may the sub was coming back in surface near Dundee (going to Rosyth) when a british bomber droped 5 bombs (no mention of the type of plane).
The crew did not have the time to send friendly flares before being hit.
The sub came back to Brest the 29
Please forgive my very basic english...
