U-boats attack Allied convoys
Sunday, March 14, 1943 www.onwar.com

In the Atlantic... In a series of convoy battles over the next week (March 14-20), 21 ships of 140,800 tons are sunk from convoys SC-122 and HX-229. About 20 of 40 U-boats will make attacks and the convoy escorts will fail to sink a single German U-boat. The German intelligence service, B Dienst, has provided solid information on the routes of these two convoys.

On the bestseller list is “Queen of the Flattops,” about the sinking of USS Lexington at Coral Sea. I actually have this book in my library. It’s OK, considering it was written under war time censorship.
