S Boote in Spain 1937

[Enrico Cernuschi]

Mein Herren,

I'm looking for in a desperate way  the record of the minefields laid by the German made schnelleboote in the Spanish waters on 1937.

Any help would be welcome indeed.

         Greetings

Were the former German S Boote active, during the first six months of 1937, in the Atlantic Ocean only or in the Mediterranean too?

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
