Thank you sir.
Unfortunately I cannot attach the jpeg showing the page...!!

It is correct that the AA gun was not from U-281, but from "Dauter" (Helmut Dauter, U-448). U-281 was sailing near him. Anyway U-281 was attacked by a "Liberator", and some sailors were wounded. No great damages anyway.

It would be very interesting to know something about this B.24 too...

Btw, if something in my translation from U-281 diary is wrong , please correct me...!

Thank you in advance
