November and December 1943After what proved to be the beginning of an eventful patrol communication is lost with U-793. She fails to return to Bergen. U-Boat Name and ID Number: U-793, Banshee Successful Patrol: No Number of Freighters Sank: 3 Number of Tankers Sank: 0 Number of Capital Ships Sank: 0 Total Tonnage Destroyed: 10,600 Refit Time: U-Boat sunk Award Requests: WB for entire crew Narrative: U-793 reports narrowly escaping a surprise attack by an allied submarine just outside Bergen the night of 4 Nov. A 3,600 ton freighter is reported sunk after an attack and on a convoy and subsequent follow up on 19 Nov. 24 Nov attacked by a Sunderland. Dive Planes irreparably damaged and Lt Alois Sieffert, ship’s doctor is seriously wounded but ObLtzS Bruer decides to continue patrol. Attack on a convoy the night of 25 Nov results in the sinking of a 4,800 ton freighter. On 27 Nov Lt Sieffert dies of his wounds. No further communication is received from U-793 and she does not return from her second war patrol. Radio intercepts from the night of 2 Dec indicate an attack on a convoy in U-793’s assigned patrol area. Indications are that one freighter (1,900 tons) was sunk while the escorts claim to have sunk a U-Boat. Attachment Deleted
