Jean Bart battleship, info needed
Jean Bart battleship, info needed
According to "Von Berlin bis Caen" of T.Fischer, the SS-Schw.Artillerieabteilung 101 heavily hit and damaged the french battleship "Jean Bart".
But I cannot find any related info on the web.
Is this true?
Thanks in advance
Marco

Hello Marco,
Do you have a date when this occurred? Jean Bart escaped St. Nazaire to NA and then to Casablanca.

No, the book gives no date...may be around June 14...
Re: Jean Bart battleship, info needed
I take it you mean June 14 in the area of the Channel. Jean Bart was not there. No French battleship was.

Thank you. You confirm my researches. I think mr Fischer got wrong on this....

Hi Marco,
I didn't know but the SS-Schw.Artillerieabteilung 101 was destroyed in 1943 at Stalingrad and when it was refitted it was renamed into Heeres-Artillerie-Abteilung 101
Kindly regards
Prosper
Re: Jean Bart battleship, info needed
Hi Prosper, the SS Schw.Art.Abt.101 was formed in Oct 1943 with SS Obersturmbannf. Steineck as its commander, then was part of 1.ss PzKorps in Normandy , and it is sometimes referred as Korps Artillerie abteilung. It was renamed 501 about in Oct/Nov 1944.
The one you refer to is a Heer unit, not WSS:
