Attacks on U-755 during this patrol
24 Aug 1942
At 21.55 hrs, HNoMS Potentilla sighted two U-boats on the surface near convoy ONS 122 and began to chase them northwards. They were U-174 and U-755, and the latter was fired on from the 4in gun at a range of about 12 miles, but the shots fell short. Both U-boats managed to escape under cover of darkness within two hours, proceeding at full speed while surfaced. (Sources: ADM reports, KTB U-755)
