Following the armistice between Italy and the Allies on September 8, 1943, the Italian motorship DONIZETTI, like a number of other Italian ships, was seized by German forces in Greece (two weeks later, she was sunk by HMS ECLIPSE while carrying between 1,576 and 1,835 Italian prisoners from Rhodes, all of whom perished). Does anyone know where did this happen exactly? She is not listed among the ships present, and captured, in Piraeus.
