Re: The official AHF Kriegsmarine quiz thread
hi,
after two not too difficult questions, a really tough one (therefore, valid for one week only)
From December, 1941 to May, 1942, 3rd E-boat-flottilla carried out 24 mining operations (MT 1 - MT 24) East off Malta.
Q.: Which boat (only one) participated in all 24 ops ?
Regrettably, this cannot be solved from internet info, you have to have access to the war diary (KTB)

Re: The official AHF Kriegsmarine quiz thread
hi,
as there seem to be no volunteers, an easy question: which Kriegsmarine ship served longest after the war in an Allied navy ?
