65th Anniversary U-672
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? |

http://www.junobeach.org/e/4/can-tac-air-coa-423a-e.htm And of course the obvious one: http://www.uboat.net/boats/u672.htm 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: http://www.castlearchdale.net//id12.html 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. |

Hi there!
Interesting story and background information you got there on your page. 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. Last edited by Thomen; 04-24-09 at 10:37 AM. |

Thanks for both the compliments.
Sorry, I wouldn't know about Sqdn. 59/S. Maybe try again? |
