guys : anyone have any info on the action: Soviet sub S4 sunk by the German Torpedo boat T-33 in the Bay of Danzig on 6 January 1945 ? mfg E
Sorry Erich-no info on that action, but is T-33 famous for any other action? The name seems very familiar...
Not sure except the T-boots were used along with S-boots for evacuation of the eastern refugees and watching out for soviet patrol boats, mining areas, etc. E
Erwin : S-boot stands for Schnellboote or the German equivalent of the US PT boat or British MTB. German boats extrememly fast. T-Boot stands for Torpedo boat. An upscaled version, flatter appearing than the S-boat. A little heavier armed for defence and could carry more mines. E
Erwin : Like I said the S and T boots as well as many freighters were rushing German refugees, civilans and troops to northern Germany. Can you imagine with untrained folks aboard warding off Soviet a/c and Russian subs and dodging heavy rounds from Soviet land batteries ? E
