General Events during this patrol
1942
15 Sep 1942. U-507 (along with U-156 and U-506 and Italian submarine Cappellini) took part in the rescue operations after the sinking of SS Laconia in September 1942 off Africa. About 1500 men were saved by these boats and French ships from Dakar (which arrived on Sept 16, 4 days after the sinking).
7 Oct 1942. Stormy weather in the North Atlantic made life difficult for those at sea. On U-507 one crewmember crushed his hand quite seriously. Some 1,000 miles to the north, one of the lookouts on U-621 broke his arm.
