Attacks on U-595 during this patrol
14 Nov 1942
The sinking of U-595
First Hudsons C and D of 608 Squadron RAF attacked the boat with depth charges. The U-boat dived but re-surfaced shortly afterwards heavily damaged and unable to dive. Her commander decided to beach the boat on the Algerian coast. At this point aircraft F, J, K, X and W of 500 Squadron RAF also appeared and they as well attacked the fleeing boat. Despite these odds the boat survived long enough to beach near Tenes and save the crew. Aircraft C and D are given the credit since they did the most damage. During the fight U-595's gunners put up a solid defence and damaged aircraft F, K and X. (Sources: Franks/Zimmerman)
