Moin Thomas,

kurze Korrektur zu:

Bemerkungen :   TEMBIEN war unterwegs von Tripolis nach Palermo mit 498 POW, davon sind 420 ertrunken und 78 wurden gerettet.

Aus Uboat.net
27 Feb 1942
HMS Upholder (Lt.Cdr. M.D. Wanklyn, VC, DSO, RN) torpedoed and sank the Italian transport Tembien (5584 GRT, built 1914) about 25 nautical miles west of Tripoli, Libya in position 32°55'N, 12°42'E. She carried 468 POW's and was escorted by the Italian destroyer Strale. The destroyer hunted the submarine dropping nine depth charges before starting to rescue the survivors. She was later joined in her efforts by the auxiliary Laurana and the torpedo boats Clio and Generale Antonio Cantore. In all 390 POW's, 68 Italians and 10 Germans drowned.
