Gentlemen,
do you have a photo and history of this ship called "Sperrbrecher 192". All I know was that she was part of Donauflottille that was retreating along the Lower Danube in 1944. She was a active ship that survived WWII.
Sincerely,
Edward L. Hsiao

Re: Sperrbrecher 192
Take a look at this web page:

Be quick, though, as the relevant parts may disappear if a better candidate for the "Whodunnit?" is found.
