Saturday, November 10, 2012     U-505 survives devastating
attack  The Lockheed Hudson was an effective hunter in the anti
U-boat war. The RAAF crew operating out of Trinidad on 10th
november were very unlucky.  This time the shock waves pushed
our boat upward, sending anyone still standing after the first
blast sailing through the air. One of the men who was standing
watch on the bridge, a Petty Officer, was blown by the force
ofthe first blast through the top hatch and down into the
conning tower. The second set of blasts rolled his bloody,
unconscious body down through the control room hatch, where he
fell and landed on his head on the steel deck in front of me.
