  • Der Geleitzug TM 1 war ein alliierter Geleitzug im Zweiten Weltkrieg. Er fuhr am 28. Dezember 1942 in Trinidad ab, traf am 14. Januar in Gibraltar ein und sollte Erdölprodukte von der Karibik in den Mittelmeerraum bringen, wo sich der alliierte Bedarf infolge der Operation Torch deutlich erhöht hatte. Die Alliierten verloren durch deutsche U-Boote sieben Tanker mit 56.453 BRT. Mit einem prozentualen Verlust von 77 Prozent war es einer der verlustreichsten alliierten Geleitzüge während des Zweiten Weltkrieges. (de)
