Monday, 19 April 1943 - 12th U.-Flotilla Bordeaux (Korvkpt. Klaus Scholtz; ex U 108) -
Daily F.d.U. Briefing
O.K.W.-Report:
a) In Hamburg, Traute Lafrenz was sentenced to a one-year prison term for her involvement with the White Rose resistance group.
b) Waffen-SS used tanks and other heavy weapons to counter the uprising in the Jewish ghetto in Warsaw.
B.d.U.-Report:
a) The boats U 648 (Oblt.d.R. Peter Arthur Stahl) and U 209 (Kptlt. Heinrich Brodda) detailed for operations on U 732's (Oblt. Claus-Peter Carlsen) report, have received orders at 1129 per F.T.1046/19/103 to continue operations if conditions make surprise enemy attacks appear unlikely and success probable. Up to 1900 all boats including U 954 (Kptlt. Odo Loewe) which also went after the convoy, had broken off operations owing to air activity and unfavorable weather conditions. The operation is therefore broken off.
At 2231 U 648 (Oblt.d.R. Peter Arthur Stahl) is ordered per F.T.2148/19/122, to occupy AK 34 as temporary attack area.
b) U 217 (VIID; Kptlt. Kurt Reichenbach-Klinke) has put out on special duties (Minelaying off Lands End).
c) U 175 (KrvKpt. Heinrich Bruns) put out of Nazaire on 10.4 and was detailed to operate on Convoy No. 27 (HX.233) immediately on leaving the Biscay area. The boat reported for the last time at 1057 on 17.4 with a short contact signal. Position at this time was about BE 46. As repeated requests have not been answered its loss must be presumed. The convoy was heavily escorted by air and surface forces.
