How they transferred ships & U-boats from Baltic & north sea to Black sea.

http://www.1jma.dk/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4404

From Kiel the vessels were tugged along Elba down to Dresden, then transported to Regensburg by heavy trucks along the highways, then sailed by Danube to the Romanian sea-ports. Employing this crafty route (2400 kms), in 1942?1944 time span 6 German U-boats, 31 steamships (including 1 ice-breaker), 23 minesweepers, 50 amphibious landing barges, 26 torpedo boats, 84 patrol boats, 113 transport vessels of varying tonnage, 42 tankers, 30 tug-boats, 18 high-speed motor-boats were deployed in the Black Sea area.
Specifically considering the issue of German submarines in this theatre, one might discover that on April 18th, 1942, three U-boats of the II-b Type (U-9, U-19 and U-24) arrived to Kiel from their bases in Gottenhafen, where they were dispossessed of their accumulators, electric engines, diesels and even coning towers to enable land transportation, finally assembled again in Linz, from where they were transported by the railway to Constanta, exaclty 6 month after departure from home bases.

"transported to Regensburg by heavy trucks"

Wish I had some photos of that.

Russians did some submarine by rail travel as well.

The M-type submarines were assembled in the Soviet port of Poti (Georgia), then journeyed to Baku (Azerbaijan) by the railway, afterwards tugged to the Krasnovodsk (Turkmenistan) across the Caspian, and then travelled by the railway to Severodvinsk?a Soviet port on the White Sea.

Very interesting, I would have liked to have seen it done. Smart way to do it also, the Germans were so innovative.

I wonder what happened to those U-boats? Did they survive the war?

Dear friend:

These U-Boats don't finish the war. Scuttled at the advance of soviet troops, remaining in the bottom of the Black Sea.

Recently, a wreck is discovered:http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/hitlers-lost-fleet-of-uboats-found-in-the-black-sea-780701.html


An article of the web where I collaborated: www.u-historia.com > Historia > Artículos Históricos > Uboote en el Mar Negro

Quote:
Las pequeñas unidades del Tipo II combatieron contra las fuerzas soviéticas en el Mar Negro. ¿Cómo llegaron los Tipo II al mar negro?. Esta y otras dudas se resuelven en este artículo de José Carlos Violat


Use translators online if is necessary....
