Re: Soviet Sub B-1 "Sunfish" sunk by British Coastal Command
And the Enigma info seems to be correct because U-865 was attacked on 27 Jul 1944, outbound one day from Trondheim, by a British Liberator from 86 Sqn RAF (plane R, pilot G.G. Gates) with six depth charges, sustaining moderate damage. The Germans put up a powerful flak barrage, hitting engines #1 and #2 and setting them on fire. Both subsequently managed to return to their respective bases.
