According to a letter dated Zagreb 4 November 1943 of the German embassy at Zagreb to the Department of an independent Croatia were the results represented of a investigation concerning Croatian merchant coastal shipping and navy. Except for what was Croatian private property [in the past until April 1941 Yugoslavian] was also described if possible what the Italians had taken away. The ocean going cargo ship Dubac, 2,819 gross register tons of the Dubrovač plovidba DD, Dubrovnik at Genoa, Italy in service of the Swiss cabinet, was seized by Italy, probably name changed and the crew leaving her. She was now Italian. Legal course of the seizure unknown.
Note
1. The Independent State of Croatia was established after Yugoslavia was captured by Italy and Germany on 10 April 1941. This state was first an Italian Protectorate between 1941-1943 and then a German puppet state between 1943-1945.
