Detmers own work on the Kormoran for more info. the KM crew went to life boats and rowed in the opposite direction of the Sydney, the Sydney was last seen on the horizon and then nothing - did she then go down due to overfilling of water due to the Torpedo strike...

I think there is a record of total tonnage sunk but where exactly I do not know at the time Marcelo. I have so many books in my collection it could very easily be in one of them and not even know it, but truthfully I do not recall seeing one given. Surely somewhere hidden in the German Archivs in Be...

the biggest problem with the KM is the non-association with the Luftwaffe. There was not a serious connection but in truth a denial of space. Sounds strange but it is true One of the very instances is the correlation of the LW Ju 290 gruppe FAGr 5 flying from SW France on long range Recee thus givin...

Zerstörers
Gentlemen :
Can anyone recommend an excellent title(s) for the KM Zerstörers ? interested in personalities and unit histories.

many thanks

Linienschiff Schlesien - 1945
Greetings Gentlemen
does anyone have the listing of the Fla(k) refit on the ship and approximate date(s) when it was made into a Flak - Schiff in the Baltic in 1945 ? My understanding she had been re-equipped with several 2cm Flakvierlings and several 4cm Bofors ?
many thanks
