It is believed that Fritz-Julius Lemp- commander of U-101 killed himself after his boat was depthcharged, and blown to the surface. The crew of HMS Bulldog, and HMS Broadway boared the boat, and intercepted the enigma maschine, along with the codes.
Crew was resqued, but Lemp was never found.
It was the second time Lemp had the bad day in the office- first, when as commander of U-30 he sunk the passenger liner Athenia- where 112 passengers died.
Maybe the pressure got to him to much....:hmm:
