65th Anniversary U-672

[Sunderland1944]

Today, April 24 is the 65th anniversary of the attack on U-672 by a RCAF Sunderland in the Bay of Biscay.

I was wondering if anybody may have photos/stories about U-672 and her skipper Ulf Lawaetz?

And of course the obvious one:

Why the interest?
Any family connection to someone on the boat?

Just curious.

Thanks!

I am actually the grandson of the 432 squadron pilot who attacked U-672 , 65 years ago today.

I have a website page about the attack:

I was hoping that others may be able to add to what I do not already have/know.

My main mission would be to find more photos or a surviving member of U-672 who may wish to share their story of the attack.

Really nice website. Looks like you have a ton of information already.

Hi there!

Interesting story and background information you got there on your page. :up:

You don't happen to know by chance how I can get into contact with Sqdn. 59/S? I tried their historical society of Squadron 59, but got no response to my inquiries.

Thanks for both the compliments.

Sorry, I wouldn't know about Sqdn. 59/S.

Maybe try again?
