1943
26 Feb 1943. With the help of code-breaking the British heavy cruiser HMS Sussex found the German blockage-runner Hohenfriedberg and forced her to scuttle. Oblt Looks in U-264 launched a full salvo at the cruiser, but missed, and Sussex left the area unscathed. Looks then rescued the entire crew of the scuttled vessel, arriving safely at St Nazaire on 5 March.
