Good day all.
I intersting one question:
During 20 march 1942 M-171 mde two torpedo attaks. During first as missed, but in second sub attack group 4 minesweepers and see after attack, that minesweepers was 3 only.
Officail german data is lie, so german write: "SPERBER läuft am 20.3. um 5.25 Uhr mit S42, S44, S45, S46 von Kirkenes nach Vardö." This ships with letter "S" is torpedo crafts. In Barents sea was not german torpedo crafts total and in this time this german torpedo crafts was in way to Black sea.
Attack really was made against 4 minesweepers:"M-1052", "M-1504", "M-1505" and "M-1506".
And see fate ships I find this:
"M-1502" was 2 ships with identical number.
First "M-1502" was ex stean trawler "Wien" amd have tonnage 446 grt. Officially fate this ship is war reparation in USSR. This ship mobilisation and receive number in 1939 year.
Second "M-1052" was ex steam trawler "Clausewitz". I have not data about this ship. But know, that it ships was mobilisation and receive number in april 1942 year.
And I think, that offical fate "Wien" in not true, so from april 1942 in flotilla was 2 ships with identical number. It is not possible total. So "M-1502" (Wien) was sunk by M-171 20 march 1942 year and in april flotilla receive new ship "M-1502" (Clausewitz). And latter ship was in reparation in USSR.
What do you think about?
