Sinking of SS Anvers on 13/11/1940

Hello,


Can anyone shed some light on wich crew/unit was responsible for the sinking of the belgian "S/S Anvers" on 13 November 1940.

According towards a surving crewmember it should have been a He 111 plane that was able to score 2 direct hits in 2 bombing runs.

Thanks in advance and cordial greetings,
