Fidelity Will Haunt Me Till I Die | Royal Marines Historical Society Special Publication No. 13 Kingswell, Peter [HMS Fidelity (D57) was a Special Service Vessel of the British Royal Navy during World War II, originally the French merchant vessel Le Rhin]. (Book #ID 111316) Published by Royal Marines Historical Society | Printed by the Portsmouth Polytechnic Printing Office First Edition 1991. 1991. First edition in publisher's original blue card wrap covers (soft back). 8vo. 8'' x 6''. In December 1942 Fidelity, with T Company, 40 Commando aboard, joined Convoy ON 154. The convoy was attacked by U-boats from 27 December while north of the Azores. On 29 December Fidelity, suffering from engine problems, fell out of the convoy. She launched her aircraft as an anti-submarine patrol while repairs took place. During this time her aircraft reported lifeboats to the southwest and her landing craft was sent to pick them up. These were 44 men from Empire Shackleton, the convoy commodore's ship. During the night Fidelity was making 5 knots towards the Azores, but came under attack twice. She was fired on by U-225, and later by U-615. Both U-boats were driven off when Fidelity fired back. On 30 December she was found by U-435, under the command of Siegfried Strelow and was torpedoed twice. Strelow observed the sinking, and estimated about 300 survivors in the water, but when he made his report later he was asked "whether their destruction in the prevailing weather can be counted on". This was some months after BdU's infamous Laconia Order, instructing U-boat commanders not to assist survivors in any way, and regarded at the Nuremberg trials as a tacit encouragement to ensure there were none. At the time of her sinking Fidelity had on board some 369 souls. All were lost. Contains 128 pp with monochrome archive photographs and some maps throughout. Feint crease line to the top front corner and in Very Good condition, no dust wrapper as issued. Member of the P.B.F.A. Click here to select books from the WORLD WAR II (Second) Category |
