On August 25, 1943 some German vessels attacked a group of four Swedish fishing vessels in the Skagerrack (55' West Hirtshals). At around 8PM several German vessels attacked the fishing boats, two ('Lisea' and 'Libanon') managed to escape but the other two,

G. G. 141 Hermon
and
G. G. 250 Vestkusten

were shelled and sunk. Everyone aboard the two vessels were killed, twelwe men in all. Does anyone know which German vessels carried out the attack?
