Sorry, but I'd have to question this statement. Can you provide a reference?
From my reading, I know of no Type IX that ever was able to go into the Mediterranean during the war. The Mediterranean u-boats were all Type VIIs. And once through Gilbralter, they were confined to the Mediterranean.

Yes I thought the same, but I read somewhere that U-127 was sunk near Gibraltar attempting to enter the Mediterranean (Can't remember where I read it...the number of the Boat stayed in my memory because it surpirsed me that a IX was sent there). Probably no IX made it there....
