April 1942

[igor]

V.6106 and 6107 arrived in Kirkenes 1500 01.04.42 and departed with HORNOY 0400 03.04.42.
I think is very doubtful that V-boote was in sea between these.
Minesweepers M.1506/1505/1508 was in this area. They leave Baatsfjord in 0700 for sweeping job and arrived Kirkenes 1800. Perhaps this is target for M-176, although M/S not mentioned any attacks either.

Thanks a lot to all three of your's.

Igor, I understand your statement, that Hornöy has not at all been at sea on 2. April, but stayed in Kirkenes the whole day, right ?

If this is right, I will change the target, because Hornöy could not have been the target, anyway.

Best regards
Thomas

Hornöy wird im KTB 61. VP-Fl. am 02.04. gar nicht erwähnt.
Auch in den Tagen vorher wird kein Einlaufen vermeldet.

Danke Thorsten.
Datensatz wurde geändert.
Da offenbar "Ostfriesland" das Schiff des Gruppenkommandeurs war, habe ich sie, stellvertretend für die ganze Gruppe, als Ziel eingesetzt.

This is only assumption. I can't find HORNOY in docs before 03.04.42. I'm just think that HORNOY has very few chances to became M-176 target. And almost 100% sure that V.6106 andd 6107 were in Kirkenes on 02.04.42
