RE: U-Boats in Kara Sea

Hi Henrik
Russians knew about U-Boat presence in Kara See not from British, but from their own radio reconnaissance (and in some cases because of U-Boat attacks of course). U-Boat’s radio transmitting were intercepted regularly. It isn’t known deciphered those transmitting or not, but U-Boat positions certainly were not a mystery for Command of Soviet Northern Fleet. Soviet submarines had made some patrols to Cap Zhelania (northern point of Nowaja Zemlja) for antisubmarine purpose. In one of those patrols (07.08.43 – 02.09.43) S-101 had torpedoed U 639. 28.08.1943 U 639 was spotted on distance 10 – 12 cables, and three torpedoes were launched from 6 cables (1,111 meters), one hit.
Spory Navolok wasn’t a “base”, but only place, near which a/c BV-138 were refueled at sea in 1943 from U 255.
Best regards
Andrew
