Räumboote Ausland RA 6-8

[PT Dockyard]

There is an old thread that discusses the French "Chassuers" that were taken over by the Kriegsmarine:

http://forum-marinearchiv.de/smf/index.php/topic,1129.0.html

Were the RA-6 through 8 ever modified to match the drawing shown? The bridge is much different from the original French one.

Also, does anyone have photos of any of these former French  boats in German service?

Did any of them ever see action against Allied coastal forces?

Thanks,

It looks like RA-2 saw some action agaist RN Vosper MTBs. She is noted in Peter Dickens' "Night Action" in the very first chapter.
