Flotilla
History
Sources
|
|
The 9th Flotilla is the last active combat flotilla of the
unterseebootwaffe community. To stay as a powerful sword for the German
marine, new members are always welcome.
|
After sinking the 15th. escort the 9th Flotilla was known around the
other flotillas as the Escort-Hunters.
The painting von Max und zu Kronau-Wahrsteiner showing a Sawfish riping an
escort was
painted before the bow anchor on both sides on each U-boat which had sunk
at least one escort |
