"Carmeronia"-"Eridan"-"CapTurane"

[mfbb330]

Hallo,

ich suche Informationen, Bilder, Ankunftsdaten in Ägypten usw. zu den im Titel genannten (engl.?) Schiffen.

Die Schiffe transportierten im Mai 1945 dt. Kriegsgefangene, unter ihnen Marinesoldaten, von Kreta
nach Ägypten.

1.) "Carmeronia":  Restkommando Seeko.Kreta (mit MarFestPi, 4./330) am ~11./12.06.1945 
2.) "Eridan", "CapTurane":  MAA 520  am ~31.05.1945

Ich bedanke mich bereits vorab für jede Info zu den Schiffen.


Gruß
Dieter
