Attacks on U-755 during this patrol
21 May 1943
The U-755 was attacked by the British submarine HMS Sickle but the fired torpedoes missed.
26 May 1943
At 06.26 hours, the boat was attacked by a British Hudson aircraft (500 Sqdn RAF, pilot S/L H.G. Holmes, DFC) 13 miles north of Alboran Island in the Mediterranean. The aircraft was hit in the port engine by AA fire during the first attack run, but dropped three depth charges. The Hudson then made two dive-bombing attacks and dropped first two and then one A/S bomb, one of them exploding just five yards off the port beam. The damaged engine then forced the pilot to return to base. Strafing had killed one crewman and wounded two others on U-755, which was forced to return to port due to heavy damage but was sunk in another air attack only 2 days later.
