Extract from Captain's log of HMS Ashanti (tribal class):

"After the fifth dc run a dull red glow was observed in the deep just off the port quarter. A large quantity of oill and a small amount of debris was observed on the surface. The debris recovered included human remains, personal effects, papers and pieces of wood panelling. We continued the sweep for another 20 minutes but there was no further ASDIC contact. Certain of the kill, we resumed course for Loch Ewe".

Flotilla Saltzwedel War Diary entry, November 12th, 1939:

It is with great sadness that we now have to assume the loss with all hands of U-6. Oblt. z S. Hans Zupp (crew of '35) and his men conducted three war patrols, one with Flotilla Weddigen and two with Flotilla Saltzwedel, sinking a total of 10 enemy merchant ships for a total 47,442 GRT.

The last message received from this boat was on 4th November, 1939, which read: "All torpedoes expended, sunk five for 21,275 GRT. Returning to base." The grid square given is just west of the Orkney Islands.

As the boat has not responded to repeated messages for status reports, we have to sadly conclude that U-6 was lost on or just after 4th November.

Bloody Tribals! Caught napping on the surface at dawn in only 37m of water!
