More details available on http://www.crashplace.de, search by date for 5 February 1941.

The entry source is a site specialized in crashes in Ireland in WWII.

Thank you Laurent, I had a look at that site but I am a little bit confused.
It has the ship listed as SS Majorca and SS Major C and the Condor commander listed as Gommer. Which may be correct? Was it in a convoy?
Thank you.
