Hi Ed

U-373 was a Type VIIC. It was sunk by F/O Moore's crew while flying a
Consolidated Liberator G.R. Mk.V (aircraft code XB-G) in the Bay of
Biscay west of Brest at position: 48.10N - 05.31W

U-441 was also a Type VIIC. It was sunk in the English Channel by F/O
Moore's crew at position: 48.27N - 05.47W

NOTE. U-629 was previously credited to No. 224 Squadron but was in fact
sunk by a Liberator of No. 53 (GR) Squadron on the 7th of June 1944.

Cheers...Chris

Chris:
There seems to be a descrepancy here. Moore's English Channel action on
7 June 1944 states that they sunk two subs over a period of 22 minutes. I
don't think anyone would forget that! Perhaps he got the U-boat numbers
wrong. The article states U373 and U629. This happend around 2.15 a.m.
The other sub sunk was not identified or where it was suck. It also states
that 43 crew members were rescued by the Royal Navy from U-373. Could be a
newspaper typo also.
