Small Raumboot R6-R16 operating in the Mediterranean

[PT Dockyard]

Can anyone provide details on the armament of these boats, especially 1943-45?

The only photo I have found is of R15 off the Croatian coast in 1945 on the page below.. Details are hard to see.

The late wartime armament of these small boats should consist of two 2 cm Flak C/38 and two MG 34, but instead the later MG15 und MG39 were used onboard of R 15 for example. R 16 on the other hand made use of MG15 und MG151 in exchange of the non available MG34. At least some boats also carried RAg´s.
