German ships sunk at Ostend Sept 8th 1940

[Andy H]

Three British MTB's reported sinking/damaging two German ships in Ostend. One that was 'sunk' was reportedly a German ammunition ship, whilst the other a general cargo ship.

Does anyone have further deails of these German losses?

Well, since there is no information on such ships sunk In Ostende at the stated date I suppose their torpedoes hit the ground (a pier..?) as they often did. At least I could not find such information at Rohwer and Hummelchen. Plenty of German activity, though.
