Attacks on U-755 during this patrol
24 Aug 1942
At 21.55 hours, the HNoMS Potentilla spotted two U-boats on the surface close to convoy ONS-122 and began to chase them northwards. They were U-174 and U-755, the latter being fired on with the 4in gun on a distance of about 12 miles but the shots all fell short. Both U-boats were able to escape on the surface at full speed within two hours in the dark. (Sources: ADM reports, KTB U-755)
24 Sep 1942
This was a difficult day for U-755. At 0549 hrs she was attacked by a convoy escort with gunfire; two hours later the boat unsuccessfully attacked convoy SC-100 with four torpedoes. She was attacked again at 1615 by an aircraft. Finally the boat was attacked by an escort at 1700, during which the boat was so heavily damaged that she had to return to base.
