There is an inconsistency in the last paragraph. It mentions that few of the survivors of the German ship are rescued, 1 dies on the HMS Lark, and it ends with stating that all the German prisoners died. 195.0.2.193 (talk) 08:28, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

I noticed that too. In general, the numbers don't add up; and don't correspond with the sources. Here it says 150 men were lost, not 132. Also it says first 46 Germans rescued, later to refer to 19 of 21 Germans rescued. The numbers should be corrected, as this makes no sense. -Oreo Priest 11:25, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

The sources vary, nearly all give slightly different figures. If you can find a definitive answer please feel free to add it. Benea (talk) 11:32, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
