1943-08-20: U-601 rescued crew of a Blohm & Voss BV 138
U-601 (Kptlt Peter-Ottmar Grau) rescued the crew of a drifting Blohm & Voss BV 138 in M.Qu. AT 2421 (approx. 76°09'N, 57°10'E, about 30 nautical miles north-west of Severny Island, Novaya Zemlya) at 2255hrs on 20 August 1943. The flying boat made an emergency landing while returning from Operation "Wunderland II" (planned attack of the German heavy cruiser LÜTZOW on the Siberian sea route) and was taken in tow by the U-boat, but worsening weather and the appearance of Soviet patrol aircraft forced U-601 to scuttle the aircraft at 0313 hrs on 21 August in M.Qu. AT 2513 (approx. 76°09'N, 59°50'E).
