Hey yall,

I am currently researching the difficulties the Kriegsmarine had with their torpedoes early in the war and their efforts to correct them. There a couple of terms I dont get, like “Scharfschüsse” and "Nachschuss". The literal translation of "sharp shot" or "near shot" dosnt tell me very much, but Konteradmiral Wehr of the TVA constantly mentions these terms when describing the types of test firings that were done so I figure its quite important to know exactly what they mean. Any help greatly appreciated. Also, anyone know what the unit of measurement Sm/h is for - as in "bei einer strömung von 30 Sm/h?" Thanks.
