Hi, 7/9/42 MTB 25, MTB 48, MTB 219 and MTB 221 with two C Class MGBs attack a German force off Dieppe. This is the first time that illumination is dropped by RAF aircraft to disorientate the German. The MGBs provide a diversion. None of the five torpedoes are seen to hit. MTB 221 follows up with a d...
Hello.
On the forums I read that SGBs sank 6 enemy ships. But I found only four - "TOURQUISE" and R-41 18.06.1942, V 1501 27.09.1943 and V 241 09.08.1944. What were the other ships sunk? Or they were not?
Hello. In der Nacht vom 8./9.8. führen Boote der 15. V-Flottille (KKpt. Rall) ein Gefecht mit 2 brit.

1. Night 9/10 July 1942 SGB-4 and -8 conducted battle against R-boats. How is it that SGB-4 was rammed one of them for a long time was under repair?
2. The night of 26 July 4 SGBs attacked two German patrol trawler. Why SGB-3 withdrawn in tow?
P. Smith wrote that night, September 14, 1942 MTB 262 together with the MTB 260, 261 and 316 were trying to get through the boom in Tobruk and while three of them fired at targets in the harbour torpedo. But what kind of boat, and when the time — it is not written. What is known about this episode?
Until that time, I believed that the landing east of Tobruk morning 14.09. 1942 managed to land only MTB-261 and -314 (LC Reynolds and HF Cooper, "Mediterranean MTBs At War", Sutton, 2001.). But the break P.Smith "Massacre at Tobruk" writes that it was the MTB-260 and -314, and t...
Is there a description of actions MTB-309 and other MTB night 14.06. 1942 at Tobruk? Italians write that MTB thrice tried to break through the fence into the harbor, but were repulsed by two attendants barges and torpedoboats. http://www.marina.difesa.it/documentazione/editoria/bollettino/Documents/...
Help determine the cause of death of the MGB-17. Some sources say that he was killed by a mine 11/06/1944, others, such as Rover, argue that it was sunk by artillery E-boat S-171. Where did it happen?
The following three attacks are recorded by Reynolds for late 1940 involving the 4th MTB Flotilla. 11 October 1940 – Attack on a group of trawlers off Calais 30 November 1940 – Attack on an unnamed vessel off the Scheldt Estuary 7 December 1940 – Santos plus one trawler sunk in an attack off of Flu...
Thank you. According to Santos unclear. According to all reports and links, which I quoted and others, Santos has been damaged is November 30th. The Germans have no evidence that on December 7 was attacked and hit by a ship either.
Here http://www.worldnavalships.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3420&page=4 description of the battle of three British MTB six German E-boats at Cape Gris Nez, the MTB 70 while fighting them alone, although he was armed with only four 0.303 machine guns. But it is not specified when the battle took ...
Thank you. I also suggested that any description of attack has been applied to two cases. Then to attack a ship this description refers? Based on excerpts from the German documents, a description of the attack Santos. But who then sank Birkenfels? And whether or 4th MTB Flotilla sank two trawlers 10...
It is unclear to attack any vessel relates the story of Jefferson, which is the same for both. Given the link German KTB indicate that both ships were attacked by MTB depth charges. Laut KTB BSW 1-12-1940: Geleite sind wegen Nebel nur teilweise durchgeführt. Die Vorposten-Rotte V 2004...
Here http://www.forum-marinearchiv.de/smf/index.php?topic=4256.0 we describe two completely identical in every detail MTB attack on two different vessel - 12/01/1940 Santos and 18/12/1940 Birkenfels with directions to the sources. Even attacked the same MTB. Is this a bug, and details the attack on ...

14th MTB Flotilla participated in the battles with the AF-barges night 25/26 and 26/27 August nearby Fecamp and many of them killed by torpedoes. Is there any details of these fights?
In Wartime Activities
14th MTB Flotilla assets not written about this fight with a German convoy of 23/24 June 1944 at the Cape de la Hogue. MTV torpedo sank the AF-66 and several merchant ships. There are details about this fight?
Here http://www.naval-history.net/xGM-Chrono-10DE-HMS_Fernie.htm write that (For details see HOLD THE NARROW SEA by P Smith, THE BATTLE OF THE NARROW SEAS by P Scott and Naval Staff History.) That in these books written about the participation of MTB and MGB in the battle with the raider and his esc...
If there was a battle with the MTB, it would be a memoir describing it, or the memories of participants in the forums. But we have nothing. Described in detail with respect to only attack the British destroyers, with their names and the injuries.
If the British archives have no documentary evidence of the participation of MTB and MGB in the attacks on the German commercial raider and his escort in the Channel 14/03/1942, may they never existed? Perhaps S.Roskill repeated the German version of the fight, and in fact the Germans were shooting ...
Help to learn more attacks MTB 298 and 276 of the German cruiser Niobe December 22, 1943 near the island of Silba. He could not find any English description nor fleet nor the names of the commanders. In Italian, German and Croatian sites describe in detail only the actions of the German forces.
