Dear all,
I would like to ask for some help in identifying the type of German motorboat seen on the following page: http://www.johnhearfield.com/Bob/Dodecanese/Surrender.htm
I hope someone is able to identify it.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Roel

Hi Roel,

it`s "KJ 25" ex "HDML 1381", captured by the Germans on 26.8.1944 from the Royal Navy in the Aegean.
