Duikboot - Nummer 22853: U48, 05.02.1940

Question: could this have been the Norwegian ss *Vilma* (1314/1906)

I cannot find a *St Villa*.

Hallo Jaap,

The KTB U48 - 5/2/40 reads : ..."Dampfer durch Morzezeichen gestoppt. Es ist der norwegische Dampfer "ST VILLA" (900T) auf der Reise nach Bergen...

As we don't find a Norwegian vessel with this name, we will modify the tekst in DUIKBOOT to show that the vessel stopped/controlled was presumably the Norwegian VILMA 1314T but that the KTB U48 gives the name as ST VILLA 900T.

The ship stopped by U-48 on this occasion was most likely the Norwegian SEVILLA (1383 grt).
