Walrus continued ....
Hi guys
Whilst on this theme, may I ask if anyone can confirm a U-boat sinking, or possible sinking, on 10 April 1940 in the North Sea, east of Orkneys, in which a Walrus was involved. Apparerntly the 'kill' was shared by the Walrus and RN trawlers that 'finished it off'. I can't seem to find a U-boat loss on this date but do note that U-1 and U-50 both went missing round about this time. Cheers Brian |

Hi Brian,
No U-boat is listed as lost on 10 April. For more info about U-1 and U-50 see : http://uboat.net/boats/u1.htm http://uboat.net/boats/u50.htm Regards, Michal |

Thanks Michal.
I wonder if the submarine was in fact the wreck of RN sub HMS Tarpon, which was sunk on this date? Cheers Brian |

Hello Brian,
check the position with this data for U-Boats on 01.-15.4.1940: http://ktb.ubootwaffe.net/ktb041940a.zip I didn´t check the positions, but: 14.46 Uhr U-2 (Planquadrat AN 26xx) muß vor einem britischen Flugzeug vom WELLINGTON-Typ tauchen. There are some other attacks/actions by/with U-Boats/Escorts. Greetings Darius |
