Tripolsky never commanded S-13, he was commander of 1. submarine division.

Only attack conducted by V-2 was one against UJ.1220

Sorry, i have no this roll, only PG's dealt with Luftwaffe berichts. Also i have no Guide to OKW rolls to figure it out. PG's are 80456-80462.

Alas, i have limited data about 1941 on Baltic. At least DD GORDY was near, because she come to help to SERDITY. As for german side looks like you absolutely right. There was 3 attacks on destroyers reported at 19.7: 04.09 bu sole plane in 10 km east from Dago east end, bombs 20 m from ship; 09.50 a...

Loss register give us only time of attack, but attacks on SERDITY begin from 17.00 (16.00 Berlin time). She was attacked repeatedly by 4 dive bombers according to my source (Soviet official chronic of war at sea on Baltic). One bomb in 17.15 hit ship in bridge area and exploded boiler which was in u...

Germans burns villages and taken people with them, when retreating. So it's looks logically to them to take also ships and cutters, and to destroy vessels which cannot to be taken. I have read many german Heer and Kriegsmarine documents and never see any precise digits. I think sunk was very small f...

There is possibility that 24 planes started, but some abort mission. Ultra interceptions is only reliable source we have now.

According to Ultra interceptions (DEFE 541/537), 24 Ju.188 fly against "QP-convoy" from Vaernes on 12.01-12.29 Berlin time. Alexander in his book about KG 26 wrote that hauptmann Walter Prinz, staffelkapitan 8./KG 26 was man who sank HENRY BACON. This was first mission for III./KG 26 in Fa...

You can try KMD's. There is KMD Danzig ad KMD Stettin for 1939. But there is mostly ships related with troop transport, mobilisation in KM etc.

You right about Chronicle. 6 volumes, 1945-51. I don't think it accessible other than in some specialised library or something. Maybe some are in private use, but i don't know such persons. Question of losses never be of great importance in USSR. Then nobody dig deeply in archives, which now is open...

I'm use pretty old, ex-secret soviet narrative about war at Black sea, named "Chronicle of war actions". Good simple source, based at documents. Also i have loss-register for Black sea, also made in 1950th by soviet MoD, ex-secret thing too. Alas there i find no casualties, only mention th...

VOROSHILOV was towed in Novorossysk 2.4.42. Then ship was damaged in this port 2.7.42 during big german air attack. 3.8.42 VOROSHILOV in convoy leave Novorossiysk for Tuapse. Next day ship headed more to south, to Poti. 19.9.42 tug VEZHILOV bring VOROSHILOV from Poti to Batumi. Obviously ship wasn't...

It was SS TERNEI, 1921, 1470 grt

I don't have them. Only data is from report of BdK from 01.01.43. It say 5 KIA, 34 WIA (12 bad wounded and 22 light).

HIPPER's KTB of course!
