as there are no further replies one week later, another hint ... the boats were re-equipped in Venice with engines and weapons.

3. S-Flotille after transfer from the west across the Po being re-equipped?
The enemy had superiority in numbers, his tanks were more heavily armoured, they had larger calibre guns with nearly twice the effective range of ours, and their telescopes were superior. 5 RTR 19/11/41

Re: The official AHF WW2 in Africa & the Med quiz thread
hi,
the man who took (and gave me) the picture was one of the 7th S-Flottilla commanding officers. I had a very interesting interview with him.
Besides: all 3rd flottilla boats had the 20 mm bow gun by 1944.
anyway, over to you for the next question!

Re: The official AHF WW2 in Africa & the Med quiz thread
Thanks. That was a very difficult one.
Here's an easier one. What was the highest daily loss of Axis tanks in 1941, when and where did it happen, and how many tanks were lost?

Re: The official AHF WW2 in Africa & the Med quiz thread
My guess is April 1941 Tobruk and about 25 tanks.

No, try again. Think outside the box.

hi,
HMS UPRIGHT (Lt. Wraith) sinking the Italian freighters FABIO FILZI (6836 BRT) and CARLO DI GRECO (6837 BRT) off Tarent on December, 13 ?
I do know they had a number of tanks aboard but I do not know how many.

Re: The official AHF WW2 in Africa & the Med quiz thread
All correct. Now try to figure out the number of tanks. Google (or the forum search function) is your friend.
