U-47 disappeared on its 10th patrol in March of 1941. The RN had originally claimed credit, though it now appears that they had sunk a different boat and the all-knowing wikipedia states that there is now no official account of the fate of the boat and its crew.

"One must work in solitude as a man who opens a clearing in virgin forest, sustained by the unique hope that somewhere in its depths, others are working to the same end."

still on patrol
I don't think so; the Navy got her in 1941. Our chaps were just a lot better.

Yes. Short innings. So our chaps almost certainly got her.
