1940 Dec............Crusing just NW off the Norwegen coast,fine weather calm seas..Heading toward grid AE at a steady 14knots...

A cry goes up Ship spotted.........use the Uzo find her and she is a large merchi Norwegen.....awesome my first kill of the day....close to within 3-4 km on a good solution for my torps ,send a contact report and dive to peri depth and wiat for the merchi to cross my path.........

after a few minutes of trracking the merchi with the hydrphone i raise the peri to get a lock and solution............only to witness 2 stukas diving on my target..they inflict some damage the ship slows to 3 knots and is afire but not bad....
3 minutes later the merchie passes with in 1000 yards of me a perfect shot midships i fire a torp...............

the great sound of impact crews cheers then i take a look the merchie slows to about 1 knot and starts listing i want this one bad so i give her another torp more cheers as another hit ..................

the merchi stops dead listing badly now almost going going gone then i get a call from my Hydrophone guy "lost contact with merrchant"

What the .......i lock my peri on the ship but no lock she going down the map shows the sunken ship icon and its an enmey red.but no kill for me

two hours later i get another merchi Norwegen as well this time i dont radio a contact report....hit it twice she goes down and yes......its loged as a confirm all mine

has any one else had this happen if you share a kill or a plane hits your target does that mean you get nothing for it......

The merchie was not destroyed as yet after the plane attack it was still clearly ok and would have limped home if i hadnt stoped it.......

Hmmmmmm the dirty Luftwaffe stealing my kill.....
