Re: sunk off Sardinia - any lives lost?

Hello Keith,

For KT 12 my source is the Kriegstagebuch of the SKL Teil D (NARA microfilm T1022/1749). The entry of 13.6.43 shows that 12 crew members (civilians), 24 AA crew and 3 escort personnel ("Begleitpersonal") were saved, 16 crew members (civilians), 7 AA crew and 4 escorts were missing, presumed drowned. German KTBs rarely list the names of the crew members lost, perhaps another reader of this forum can point you in the right direction. Are you diving the wrecks of these three vessels?
I have not read files of Italian patrol-boats but my limited experience at the Ufficio Storico shows that they usually keep the list of crew members lost with each ship file, I have checked mostly some torpedo-boats and larger vessels but I cannot vouch this is the case for smaller vessels.

Best of luck!

Platon
