I am working on a book about the last days of WW II. One of the chapters will deal with two Russian air raids on Bornholm. Where was the following units stationed in the beginning of May 1945 and who were their commanders ? 7. GShAP 12. IAP 21. IAP 35. ShAP 51. MTAP I also need some help with two go...

It looks like a neo-nazi 'schoolkid' who have been scanning pictures from books and stolen them from other sites on the net. Not worth wasting your time on.

Hi Sid As far as I know it was aircraft from the Blindflugschule that found Niels Juel early in the morning. A recce plane from this unit sent at 07.15 a message that stated that Niels Juel was laying off Holbaek under steam. A plane from Blindflugschule sent 55 minutes later that Niels Juel sailed ...

Yes, and my birthplace was one of them. Quite a few houses were damaged/destroyed during the bombing, but the Russians dropped leaflets before the attack and the Danes evacuated the cities. The Russians attacked military targets (the harbours that were packed with German ships and anti-aircraft empl...

FALSE ! Russian troops occupied the island of Bornholm from May 1945 to the spring of 1946. They did not commit any serious crimes against the local population. There were som theft and a single rape, but the russians were punished quite hard. There were minor friction between some danes and russian...

Dear Pittam I guess that your last name is Yates. F/Lt Yates hit the mast of the German gun boat K3 the 4th of May 1945 off Aarhus in Denmark. The Mosquito brought back the pennant from K3. K3 survived the attack. It was badly damaged and a lot of the crew were either killed or wounded, but the ship...

Well, either you can travel to Freiburg in Breigau (Germany) and spend a couple of weeks in the archive going through thousands and thousands of cards or you can post the number on the net (TOCH or here) and get some help from a lot of people.

Well, maybe not sunk, but Gneisenau was hit by a bomb in February 1942 and was never used again. Admiral Scheer was sunk in Kiel harbour in April 1945, Admiral Hipper was badly hit and blown up by own crew in May 1945. Emden was hit by several bombs and ran aground - it would otherwise had sunk. Lüt...

The first 'air attack' took place on the 4th of September 1939, when Blenheims from No. 110 Squadron attacked Admiral Scheer in Wilhelmshaven. No bombs were dropped on land. A Wellington from No. 9 Squadron dropped about the same time some bombe in the town of Esbjerg i Denmark and claimed to have b...

Hi Alan It is a question that can not be easily answered. The defences changed from month to month according to the situation in the fighting. The best thing that you can do, is to get the book 'Bei der Marineflak' by Klaus Hupp ISBN 3-88042-851-4. The book covers the Marineflak that was defending t...

Oberstleutnant Walter Lehwess-Litzmann, who was CO from the first week of January 1943 to the 7th of September 1943.
