[edit] Yep, I believe that was the same group:

[edit 2] Nope, not the same group. I reread the question and answer, and these destroyers were heading from Wilhelmshaven to England, while 'mine' were off Norway.

On the night of the 10th/11th, German destroyers KARL GALSTER, ANTON SCHMIDT, RICHARD BEITZEN, FRIEDRICH IHN, escorted by destroyers WILHELM HEIDKAMP and FRIEDRICH ECKHOLDT, laid a minefield off Newcastle. On the return, IHN broke down and was escorted back by BEITZEN. On the 11th, the minefield claimed its only victim, trawler LUCIDA (251grt) in 55‑00N, 00‑53W with the loss of one crewman.
