Well captioned. He served on the
Torpedoboot MÖWE. Möwe was the lead ship
of the her class of six torpedo boats
built for the German Navy (initially
called the Reichsmarine and then renamed
as the Kriegsmarine in 1935). The boat
made multiple non-intervention patrols
during the Spanish Civil War in the late
1930s. During the Norwegian Campaign of
1940, she played a minor in the attack
on Oslo, the capital of Norway. Möwe was
torpedoed and badly damaged by a British
submarine in May and did not return to
active service until 1942 when she was
transferred to France. The boat helped
to escort blockade runners, commerce
raiders and submarines through the Bay
of Biscay. She also laid numerous
minefields and attacked Allied ships
during the Invasion of Normandy in June
1944. Möwe was sunk by British bombers
that same month.
