my favourite topic: E-boats (Schnellboote) : three flottilla commanders died "on the job" ... who ?

greetings, the pb

[Polar bear]

hi,

hint: in chronological sequence 4. (1943), 5. (1944), 2. (1945)

greetings, the pb

[Polar bear]

hi,

another week later, hint #2
The first died in a melée in which 2 German e-boats were lost
the second had been flottilla commander for just 24 hours
the third was the first e-boat CO decorated with the Knight´s Cross.

hi,

OK, as there´s nobody even trying ... the solution
1) Korvettenkapitän Werner Lützow http://books.google.de/books?id=DxiyptZ ... ow&f=false
2) Kapitänleutnant Kurt Johannsen http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_Johannsen
3) Korvettenkapitän Hermann Opdenhoff http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermann_Opdenhoff

The thread is open for the next question ...

Hello!
Thanks for reviving the thread!
Karlsruhe at Kristiansand during Weserubing?

Best regards, Aleks

Karlsruhe at Kristiansand during Weserubung?

quite probable as there are two S 30 type E-boats and those participated only in Group 4

greetings, the pb

[Mischa]

[AVV]

Who?

Best regards, Aleks

[Mischa]

Thanks! Who? Best regards, Aleks

Hello,
It seems a commander is on an old old battleship of the ex - Imperial Navy, the tropical uniform again says that the photo was taken in a foreign port, but who is that man, when we takes time bevor 1939? The "old iron "were i thea time after 1920 very active, because the Reichsmarine needed talent. But this time I'm missing so much and I do not sit in pre-war admirals again also. I rely on someone else.

Regards
Mischa

Perhaps best known for a heroic towing job that she performed herself......

Who was she and - what did she tow?
