Re: Convoy attack on February 6 1943 off Algeria;

Here is what I have for that date.


"While escorting convoy KMF-8, the corvette HMCS Louisburg (K 143) , commanded by Lt. Commander William F. Campbell, was attacked and sunk near Cape Tenes, Algeria by two separate formations of German planes from FK II. The first consisted of 7 Ju-88 bombers, the other of 7 torpedo planes, He.111 of the 4th Staffel from II/KG.26, lead by Hauptmann Rudolf Schmidt. From a crew of 109, rescue craft were able to recover 50. Two of the He.111s were lost, but one crew was rescued by a Spanish trawler."
