    Wondering if there’s any French contributors (or anyone else!) to this site who have done any research into the activities of the above two Free French submarines during WW2, operating much of the time out of Dundee and Lerwick. Hoping someone might have an interest in these Subs and ideally have patrol reports. Thanks

    Many thanks for replying. Yes uboat.net is a very useful site which I visit frequently but unfortunately the movements shown for these French subs are quite limited so I was hoping that someone may have, or know where to look, for their patrol reports, if such still exist. Trying to piece together their movements through Lerwick, Shetland during WW2. Thanks again.

    Hello again, yes exactly like that! Thank you for the link to a very interesting publication, there’s much of interest in there to follow up if I could ever get down to the National Archives. Being at the other end of the country, in Shetland, makes a visit to TNA difficult and expensive so I was hoping to find someone who maybe had an interest in this subject and had sourced these patrol reports already. All I need is to cross check dates for port visits and brief details of certain patrols. Anyway thanks again, this link is very useful.
