 ORP Orzeł - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ORP Orzeł was a Orzel-class submarine serving in the Polish Navy during World War II.
Built at the Dutch shipyard De Schelde, she was laid down 14 August 1936, launched on 15 January 1938, and commissioned on 2 February 1939.
The Orzeł was lost with all hands on the next patrol somewhere in the North Sea, in late May 1940.

Orzel did not receive that message, but in any case the information that the battleship would leave turned out to be incorrect.At 0447 hours on 1 September, Schleswig-Holstein had fired the opening shots of World War II at the Polish fortress on Westerplatte.
Orzel's officers were pleased to note the spontaneously obstructive attitude of the crew, who were all wondering how to get away from there and continue their fight against the Nazis, for the defence of Poland.
Orzel gave courage to all the Polish people who were fighting for their freedom, and to the Germans, sinking Orzel was now a question of honour.

No signals had been received from the Orzel since her departure and on the 5th of June the order was sent for her to return.
The Admiralty stated in 1962 that Orzel had been lost in a British minefield at 57'00N/03'40E on 25 May. That minefield had only recently been laid there, and it was admitted that it had not been possible to inform all of the allied ships, including Orzel, about the existence of that new minefield.
When Orzel was returning to Rosyth she might have hit a mine in a new German minefield, 16B, which was located near the British minefield.

 CAPTAIN STEFAN WESOLOWSKI (1909-1987)
However, neither this assignment nor the subsequent one on the destroyer ORP Wicher were successful since during the early, confusing aspects of the general mobilization both craft were by then fully crewed before his arrival.
The ORP Blyskawica was damaged badly and among the many wounded in the battle for Narvik was Wesolowski who was ejected from his position at the antiaircraft gun turret by a bomb explosion.
After being escorted to the captain's cabin by a marine guard, the Polish sailors from the ORP Blyskawica were shocked to discover that their former petty officer was the captain of the Ganandoc.

 Dutch Submarines: The Wilk case part two
Again Erling Skjold commented that it is strange for a submarine not to respond to any message during the rest of her patrol.
That second version is perhaps more likely to be right, since the other minefield near the area was British, and E.H Vorser should have been aware, before his departure, that a British minefield was there.
On 25 May, when Orzel was presumably lost in that area, the sound of a big explosion was heard by the British acoustic stations.
