German trawler Hecht, 8 October 1940

Post by Laurent Rizzotti » Wed Sep 11, 2024 1:21 pm

Hello,
I am searching more details on the loss of German trawler Hecht on 8 October 1940.

Here is what I have:
German trawler HECHT (222grt) was sunk by enemy action.
Source: https://www.naval-history.net/xDKWW2-4010-23OCT01.htm

A new gone source (http://schiffswrackliste.de/Gesamtverlu ... %20brt.xls) confirms the loss and the date, and adds that she was lost in a Dutch port.

Can someone add more details ?

Thanks in advance
Darius

Hello Laurent,

no more details, only our interest, too, on details for filling the gaps in

as this HECHT was used as an auxiliary minesweeper in WWI.
