Hallo, Jan. Es wird dauern, bis ich nachchecken kann. Ich
werde mich dann melden.
Hallo Bob.
Vielen dank.
Sorry to disapoint you. I have checked in the best sources
(Erich Gröner, Die Deutschen Kriegsschiffe 1939-1945 und ihr
Verbleib, also by Gröner, in two volumes Die
Deutschen
Kriegsschiffe 1815-1945.) The problem is that one needs the
name of the ships, or at least their size and class, to make
the search for their status at the end of the war feasible.
Otherwise, it is like looking for needles in the haystack. If
you have access to a national or university library and the
time to search the indices yourself, you might see whether one
or both of Gröner’s works can help you.
Dear Bob,
Thanks for your input.
I think the class is Hafenschutzboot with any of the no.s 21,27 or 31, all three deserted from Norway to the W. coast of Sweden in Mars-April 1945.
Regards
Jan
