How many naval ships fled to Spain in 1944?

[Felix C]

When the landings in Normandy and Toulon area pinched off those South and West respectively. Just VPs and similar auxiliary vessels?

Yes You are right pb. The only boat I know is T 28, which fought through into the home through the English Channel on adventurous sort.

Hello!
Max Stinsky was interned in Spain in 1944 (after she was damaged in fight with Allied warships, IIRC).

hi, Aleks,

"Max Stinsky", however, belonged to the Luftwaffe and not to the Kriegsmarine.

Yes, of course. Still, she was a ship.

Thank you for all of your replies. I did not know about the Max Stinsky.

Was not T-28 based at Le Harve east of the Normany Allied landings? No surface vessel west of Utah Beach escaped to the East.

The Imelmann, another seaplane tender of the Karl Meyer class (like the Max Stinsky), was also interned in Spain in August 1944.

Was it she who was damaged in fight with Allied warships or was it Stinsky?

OK. I've come across this info at Russian guidebook on Kriegsmarine. I'll try to check this book in the evening.

That's correct. She was part of 5th Torpedo Flotilla in Le Havre, so would not have been able to get to Spain in any case.
