Hello Trevor:
24.– 30.9.1943
Nordsee
Minenunternehmen »Probestück« der 2., 4., 6. und 8. S-Flottille mit 29 Booten in der Nacht 24./25.9. vor Harwich und Orfordness. Es werden 120 Minen geworfen. Bei Gefechten versenkt S 96 (Lt.z. Sander) den brit. Trawler Franctireur, wird aber selbst vom brit. ML 145 gerammt und muß aufgegeben werden. 3 brit. Motor Launches werden beschädigt.
According to the text the E-boat in question was S 96.
