After the crew of the submarine during the patrol sinking ship heard on the surface of the Italian voices, launched the rescue operation and called for additional sub - 15. September arrived the U-506, U-507 and Italian submarine Camppellini. These four submarines were 16. September - even though that is on their upper decks daly to recognize the hundreds of survivors, they displayed banners with a red cross and dragged behind several rescue boats - attacked by allied bomber B-24 Liberator. One of the bombs landed in the immediate vicinity of the lifeboats with the survivors towed behind U-156, and in a few hundreds of them killed. Another bomb U-156 lightly damaged. The captain was forced to order the unleashing of boats, shipwrecked ordered to jump into the sea and gave the order to dive the U-156 along with U-506 and 507. 17. September arrived at the place of ships of vichy France, in order to save the remaining about 1100 survivors.
