Crew list of Ships hit by U-boats

Herbert Berghausen was a fireman sailor on the British steam merchant "Har Zion". The ship was hit by a torpedo launched by the German U-Boat U-38 in the Atlantic Ocean, several miles west of Ireland.

At 06.15 hours on 31 Aug, 1940, the Har Zion (Master John N. Beighton), a straggler from convoy OB-205, was hit amidships by one of two G7e torpedoes from U-38 and sank by the stern northwest of Bloody Foreland. The master and 33 crew members were lost. The sole survivor was seaman Osman Adem, who was picked up by ORP Blyskawica (H 34) (LtCdr S. Hryniewiecki, ORP) the next day.
