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

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.
