Re: Soviet Sub B-1 "Sunfish" sunk by British Coastal Command

The search was for a possible U-boat but the Liberator was a long way off course. When the s/m was sighted other errors were made. The enquiry at the time found the Liberator crew responsible and the Russian submarine was in the correct position and her actions were not criticized.
Perhaps you have other information but I cannot see the Russians being blamed in the reports of the time. The quality of the intelligence was not the problem, the Liberator was in the wrong place and the crew were at fault.
