German tankers hit aerial mines 1940

Hi guys

According to German Naval War Diary, two German tankers (one of 10,000-tons, the other 6,000-tons) were sunk on mines layed by RAF aircraft off St-Nazaire sometime in early to mid July 1940.

Can anyone identify the tankers and the date lost, please?

Cheers
Brian
