I've just found the link above and I must say that I'm sometimes quite surprised how much SH5 campaign files are actually historically correct...
Thanks for the nice Link Vecko and sure for the new update!

I read that at that times the escorts supported the convoys about 300sm from Norway to England and got again support about 300sm at the east side from England. So it was a "realistic bug" when i found this convoy in the middle of the north sea without escorts.
Nine ships sunk btw., hope the sailors reached the country but sure..the chances where small - war is hell.
