Hello all,
i have a difficult work for you, to explain a convoy name, which sailed from Finnland to Sweden.
AURA II was a patrolboat, which was sank by the russian SChC--324. I have found a polish website
http://www.graptolite.net/ship/Aura.html, but the german translation is not so good, so i need your help to find the convoys name and the destination. This happened on 13.01.1940.

thanks for any help

Hello Kurt,

so why not to translate in english?

Here´s what I understood (from the original version):

[...]In just such convoy [escorting vessels in coastal waters and to Sweden] AURA II started to sail. The 13.01.1940 became not only unlucky for the AURA II, but was also the last of such travels for her as a warship.
This day - together with TURSAS, a former boat of the boarderguard - she escorted in the Alandsea a journey of a convoy to Sweden. The convoy consisted of the frighter SS ANNEBERG and SS HEBE and the passanger ship SS BORE I. [...] While crossing the small island of Märket [...]
