Re: 50 destroyers for bases deal
I am attaching 4 maps showing U Boat dispositions in the Caribbean theatre as per heading 0091 -1943; 0092 - 1942; 0093 - U Boat losses (U 166 sunk in Gulf of mexico not shown -page too long!) and 0094 - shipping losses in the Caribbean sector. Please remember that the history books talk about the Battle of the Atlantic (and which includes the Caribbean Sector).
Trinidad was also a convoy terminus and the convoy codes were: TB/BT BAHIA; TJ/JT RIO; TE Eastward; TF/FT FREETOWN; TO/OT NORTH AFRICA; TM GIBRALTER; CU/UC UK; TAG/GAT ARUBA.
