As of December 22nd, Oregon's review of about 550 death records previously overlooked in COVID-19 reporting has been completed. The error was widely reported in October and the catch-up period inflated Oregon's mortality trends. Previous mortality trends from around May to August were understated due to the error.
Completion of the catch-up project was announced by the state here.
As a local of the Kalamazoo/Portage I will say that WMU is a pretty cool school as I have visited there for extracurricular classes and field trips.
We are an active war clan with a friendly community. We easily max clan games every season. We have multiple members who reach 10K+ donations each season. We currently have 33 members and are looking for a few more. Message me if interested.
Does anyone have access to- or know anybody who might have access to- the interrogation records from the German survivors of the U-550? The U-boat was sunk by US destroyers in the North Atlantic in April 1944, just after the U-550 torpedoed the oil tanker Pan Pennsylvania. The incident was covered in the excellent 2012 book “The Hunt for the Last U-boat” (a fantastic book if you’re interested in naval history and/or scuba diving).
I have been able to find many other records pertaining to the event, including the action reports from the USN ships involved, but I’d really, really like to see the POW interrogation records because I’m trying to understand the entirety of the event from both sides. I have Navy interrogation records for the POWs of many other U-boats, I just can’t find the U-550 ones.
This is for a non-fiction book about U-boats that I’m working on. My last resort is a visit to the National Archives but, since they’re still closed for COVID and it’s a several hour drive for me, I’m trying to run down every other possible lead first.
Thanks!
