Hello Axel.
No tug with name Simson was sunken in Norway on this date.
This information is a error from the book "Die Deutche Handelsflotte 1939 - 1945."
One tug/icebreaker Simson was sunk night between 14/15.04.43
in Finnische Meerbusen (Reval)
This tug was assistance the 24.L.Flottille. The 24.L.Flottille
working to laying submarine net for protection against Russian submarine.Simson have also ordre to help Minenschiff Kaiser/Roland from 18.04.43 in the same area. But she was already sunk on a mine.
Best regards
Řistein.
