Explosion of S-Boot Bunker Le Havre 6/July 1944

Dear Members,

I'm working on a small exhibition about the harbour of Le Havre in 1944. For this project I'm preparing a focus on the S-Boot Bunker build in the harbour.

The central part of the bunker blow up on 6 July 1944. According to J.F. Tent book, E-Boat Alert, the origin of the explosion is not clear (Accident or sabotage). The author mentioned as sources a memo of Seeko Seine-Somme to Marinegruppe West (BAMA RM7/145) and also entries for 6 and 10 July 1944 in BAMA RM 35/II 64. Is anybody had a copy of these documents? I try to find the exact casualties caused by the explosion among German troops.

Thanks in advance for your help

Best regards from Le Havre
