Hello,

I would like to ask a question regarding ORZEL's 5th patrol up the Norwegian coast. As we know on 8.iv.1940 ORZEL sunk German RIO DE JANEIRO [5 261 GRT]. Day later Polish submarine attacked another enemy vessel, auxiliary minesweeper V 705 [278 GRT], though this time with no luck. On 11.iv.1940 ORZEL spotted 2 ships - one big troop ship [~15 000 GRT] and smaller trasport ship [~2 000 GRT], escorted by 2 auxiliary?! minesweepers. Though just before the attack ORZEL was spotted and drove away by escort and planes. The question is - can you guys identify both German ships?!

Best Christmas wishes,
abz
