What has been checked
Previously inspected selected pages; PDF pp.3, 14 and 15 visually rechecked on 20 October 2026 for passage crews, craft allocation, attack and charges. Printed pp.995 and 1000–1002 / PDF pp.3 and 8–10 visually rechecked on 20 October 2026 for Stubborn’s outward tow, search, recovery, crew transfer and scuttling of X.10. Personal account: Gazette p.1007 / PDF p.15 visually rechecked on 24 October 2026, distinguishing Place’s quoted report from the final report’s narrative of escape; p.1005 identifies the July 1945 report layer.
How to read it
Not the signed manuscript or original German diary. Reports have different evidence bases and time conventions. X.5’s exact contribution remains unresolved. The Stubborn profile uses the published official despatch, not a separately inspected complete submarine patrol report.
