Interesting story - but can this be true? I mean, by giving such a warning to a convoy he would have reduced the chances of success of the u-boats and heavily endangered the soldiers under his command. Especially in the usually heavily patrolled Gibraltar area. This contradicts every picture of Dönitz i have.
Mmmmh, i don't want to sound like a "know-it-all" but i never read about him doing such a thing and it doesn't really fit into the situation of 1941 - 45.
Anyway, i'm not in the position to question a veteran so please excuse but i find this story quite interesting, thanks for posting it.
