Hi Andrew

Thank you for this GREAT detail!!!! To quote my friend: \"VOMA!!!!!!!!!!!! Excellent,. Just what I needed!\"
I must admit I dont know myself what VOMA means, but given that he goes nuts over the number of replies I received to his questions, Id guess its a very positive thing :-)
He had kind of given up on finding out anything about his...
Anyway, do you happen to know wether the \"base\" at Spory Navolok was used more than once??

Yours

Henrik

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
