Hallo TW,

kleine Ergänzung aus sicht der mit niederländischer Besatzung fahrenden Boote der 9th MTB Flotilta:

Anti-shipping strikes
The boats of the Dutch flotillas fought the war in the Channel area with as much daring and tenacity as their British and German counterparts, and they achieved results accordingly. The track record for an average month will show a wide array of activities, ranging from convoy protection to minelaying to putting spies ashore on the occupied mainland, but the boats' main purpose was ofcourse to harass enemy shipping. The most successful anti-shipping action the MTBs took part in was that in the night of 26/27th September, 1943.

MTB.202 (Sublt. Bommezijn, also flagship for Lt. Cdr. Larive), MTB.204 (Lt. Jorissen) and MTB.231 (Lt. Van Eeghen) were on "short notice", which basically meant they had to be ready to sail at any time. Aerial reconnaissance indicated that a German convoy was forming at Dieppe, probably ready to sail that night. Larive had thought up a daring plan of attack, which also included the British MGBs 108, 116 and 118 under overall command of Lieutenant R.B. Rooper, R.N. Larive's plan placed the MTBs close to shore, waiting for an opportunity to launch their deadly "fishes", while the MGBs would engage the escorts, thus diverting attention away from the Dutch boats.
