Attacks on U-101 during this patrol
13 Oct 1941
10.45 hrs, Bay of Biscay, outbound: a twin-engined aircraft dropped three depth charges, causing minor damage. The attack also apparently caused an oil leak, because three more depth charges were dropped on the submerged boat at 16.42 hrs. (Sources: Ritschel)
