Hi

1943-44 CO of the 54.MTB flot.

On the 27. of July 1941 he was CO onboard MTB-56 and was on patrol in the Straits of Dover. On the night to 9.September 1941 a german convoy was observed heading north at Cap Blanc Nez. MTB-56 was not ready so Danielsen and his crew were ordered to embark the British MTB-54. The MTB-54, together with MTB-35 and 218, came in contact with the convoy, fired several torpedoes and returned safely to Dover. He probably sunk a german cargoship.

regards Rolf
