Re: He115 Convoy PQ17 query
From the book by David Irving "The Destruction of Convoy PQ-17" page 349 "Finally, early on 13 July, Commander Reinhard Reche radioed that he had found a deserted and drifting freighter about six hundred miles north of Murmansk -Dutch Paulus Potter, still afloat eight days after being bombed and brought to a stop. Reche's signal added, "Papers salvaged"." Nothing about a seaplane. Reche was the C.O. of U-255.
