Mein Herren,
I'm looking for in a desperate way :BangHead: the record of the minefields laid by the German made schnelleboote in the Spanish waters on 1937.
Any help would be welcome indeed.
Greetings
Enrico

:?
Were the former German S Boote active, during the first six months of 1937, in the Atlantic Ocean only or in the Mediterranean too?
Enrico
All right, I was able to discover where the former German S Boote were based during Spring 1937, i.e. Cadiz and Malaga.
One further question: what was the type of mines they laid? UMA?
Greetings
Enrico
REQUETE' and FALANGE: from Malaga, some mines laid off Almeria 6 April 1937
REQUETE' and OVIEDO: from Pollensa, mining off Valencia harbour, between 9 and 15 August 1937
