Re: German trawler Hecht, 8 October 1940

Hello Darius,

Sorry for the late reply.

Thank you very much for the KTB excerpts, perhaps one of the vessels mentioned is the Hecht but it's difficult to say. Perhaps the information I have is incorrect.

Best regards,

Re: German trawler Hecht, 8 October 1940

Hello Darius and Laurent,

In one of Theo's old files I found the following:
7. 10. 40
D df Hecht 15 222 + B/Fl Calais B
Perhaps someone with access to relevant War Diaries (KTB's) can investigate further.
