Hi Henrik
Commander of S-101 was Kapitan-Leitenant (Lieutenant-Commander) E.N.Trofimov, but attack against U 639 was made by Kapitan 2nd Rang (Captain is British equivalent) P.I.Egorov, commander of 5.submarine division, he was on board in this patrol. Kapitan 3rd range (Commander is British equivalent) V.K.Vekke was commander of S-101 until 12.12.1942 only.
Spory Navolok was used as “base†only in August 1943. Two flying boats BV138 were lost in operation “Wunderland IIâ€. In August 1942 during the first operation “Wunderland†U255 also used for refueling of BV138, but temporary base was on Spitzbergen. Two flying boats BV138 were lost in this operation too.
I have one question in return. I’m interesting in Danish merchant, fishing etc vessels losses during World War II. My sole source is bad copy of old Norwegian book “â€Norges, Sveriges og Danmarks handelsflÃ¥ter. Tilgang og avgang i 1940-1945†(Oslo, 1946). What you can recommend about it?
What do you know about Danish steamer “Inger Nielsen†(or “Ingar Nielsenâ€) during WW2? (Fate, career, tonnage and other data needed).
Best regards
Andrew
