Re: 490 Sqn U/B attack 11 Aug 43

Hi Andy

The U-boat attacked was U-757 (Kptlt Friedrich Deetz), which reported an unsuccessful attack by a flying boat in naval grid EK7829 (approx. 11°09'N/18°27'W) at 1232 hrs on 11 August 1943. The U-boat was not damaged by the depth charges that fell 50 meters astern and then escaped by crash diving after keeping the aircraft on distance with the AA guns for 20 minutes.
