The same USAAF B-24, dispatched from Ascension Island, that bombed the U-boats with the Laconia survivors on September 16 returned and bombed them again. Vichy French cruisers arrived and took on the remaining survivors, over 1,000, although 98 crewmen, 133 passengers, 33 Polish guards and 3,394 Italian POWs were lost during the entire event. The number lost due to American bombing is not known.
Occupied Norway reintroduced the death penalty.
