Just to remind you all that If any user has a problem with the moderation of this forum they should complain off-line, not here.
Comments of that kind will be removed from the board.

As for the table in question, both sides have made their points clear by now. Mr. Virtuani has presented his calculations including the first 18 salvos from POW fired from 0553 to 0602 hours. No problem at all with that. If others prefer to have the last 3 salvos fired under local control added to t...

Once again this thread is burdened with repetition of the Tiresome Table, but at last its promoter begins to prevaricate about its manifest manipulation of mathmatics:

Agree to disagree with Mr. Virtuani or just don't say anything at all.
No more accusations please.

By the way, the original German language version of the conferences is also available at NARA, Washington DC. T1022.

I seem to remember I had a book entitled 'The Fuhrer Naval Conferences' which was published some time ago, is this newer information that what was in the book? It is basically the same thing. The book you mention: "Fuehrer Conferences on Naval Affairs, 1939-1945", is a reprint of Brassey's Naval An...

All conferences up to August 1943 are now accesible.
The rest will be added in the following weeks.

Dear forum members, Bill Jurens has my full support on his role as forum moderator, and I ask all users without exception to follow his commands and advice. If anybody feels incapable to comply with Bill Jurens' instructions, perhaps it would be the right time to take a break from the board and come...

In the link below you will eventually have access to all important naval conferences that took place between the Führer and the Commander in Chief of the Kriegsmarine between 1939 and 1945. These documents, together with many other German Navy files, were captured by the Allies at Tambach Castle nea...

The original message was sent by Catalina aircraft M/240 to No. 15 Group, at 1200 hours on 26 May: "4 UN 050 - 10 - 140 - KRGP 4731" 4 unknown vessels bearing 50º - distance 10 miles - course 140º - my position 49º 47' N., 21º 29' W.

The Germans were able to intercept some of the British messages sent during Rheinübung, and it is interesting to note that some of the intercepted messages are not included in the Admiralty War Diary. The radio traffic during the chase of the Bismarck was huge, so they must have only included the mo...

I really wonder which message Supermarina could have got before B-Dienst and did not pass to Germans... :think: I have not read the article, but from what I have seen, it is the message sent by NORFOLK at 2032 hours on 23 May after sighting the Bismarck in the Denmark Strait. "1 Battleship, 1 cruis...
