Hi,

Colleagues,

I found conflicting information about the sinking of the minesweeper M 3413 Petronella 21/7/44

English Channel
RN MTBs attack Kriegsmarine 34th Motor Minesweeping Flotilla overnight, sinking minesweeper M-3413

http://books.stonebooks.com/wardiary/19440721/
M 3413 Petronella · Kriegsmarine, World War II: The minesweeper was sunk in the North Sea in an attack by Royal Navy Motor Torpedo Boats.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_shipwrecks_in_July_1944
There is such information
21.07.1944 M  3413  x  PETRONELLA    MTB  455, MTB  457, MTB  458   nw. Scheweningen[/u]

Vor der niederländischen Küste

Following L. Reynolds (Home Waters, p 150) it was the 21st Flotilla with MTB 234,224,225,232 attackimg two armed trawlers off Scheveningen. On German side (following DDK VIII, p. 357) it is stated that PETRONELLA (ex SCH 314) was sunk by MTB near Scheveningen.
Best regards
Thomas

P.S The attack of the 4th Flotilla with MTB 458,467,469 has occured on 13.07.1944 against 4 trawlers (one of them claimed sunk) near Ijmuiden (Reynolds, HW, p.144)
