Victim of phantom destroyers

Another victim of phantom destroyers. U-141 where to attack a convoy, just north of britain. 1 February 1941 04:10 while submerged, silent and plotting the convoy, (4-5km away). A destroyer suddenly picked up something and started to ping like crazy. Obviously well aware of the the submarines position. Oberleutnant Harald Geue managed to escape the one and one half hour franatic bombing of three or four warships. Though he sustained heavy injuries to the bow, which completly destroyed one of the tubes.
Geue intercepted the convoy to launch a second attack and haven't been heard from since.

(The truth is that one other phantom destroyer caught attention to the submarine ~08:30. Once more the bombing was away. And U-141 was destroyed due to pressure ~08:50, at a depth of 70m trying to escape.)

Darn, I was looking forward to move to Brest and get a type VII...
