Hallo,

die ungarische Hochseeschiffahrt fuhr auf allen Meeren und hatte besonders im Schwarzen Meer bei den Transporten viele Angriffe durch sowj. U-Boote und besonders Luftwaffe.

Die Donauschiffahrt hatte viele Verluste durch britische Minen und Luftangriffe und die
Ungarische Donauflottille kämpfte nach allen Seiten bis zu letzten Tag des Krieges in Bayern.

Vielleicht kommt eines Tages noch die Zeit das diese Tatsache durch einige besondere Arbeiten weltweit und international etwas bekannter wird.

Ich hoffe es und würde jederzeit mein Material bei steuern.

Grüße

Theo

Hello,

the Hungarian high sea navigation drove on all seas and had particularly in the black sea in the case of the transportation many attacks through sowj. Submarines and particularly Air Force.

Danube shipping had many losses by British mines and air raids and the Hungarian Danube flotilla fought after all sides up to last day of the war in Bavaria.

Perhaps a daily still the time comes this fact by some special work becomes world-wide and internationally somewhat more well-known.

I hope it and my material with would at any time steer.

Greet

Hello Viktor,  
in very many sources one can read like many ships the Romanian rivermonitors on the Danube in August and September 1944 captured and/or sank.  

Theo


Sorry, I only have a list of Romanian losses on the Danube.

Hallo Viktor,

für mich wäre es schon interessant zu erfahren ob die Kriegstagebücher der rumänischen Kanonenboote überhaupt noch vorhanden sind zu den Gefechten nach dem 24. August 1944.
In Zeiten des kalten Krieges ist es mir einmal gelungen, ich glaube im Tausch gegen Informationen zu deutschen Minenfeldern im Schwarzen Meer, zwei Dokumente aus Rumänien nach diesem Zeitpunkt zu erhalten.

Aus dem Bericht Nr. 36773 v. 1. September 1944.. 12 Uhr.

"In der Nacht vom 31 August 1944 auf 1 September 1944
wurde das Schiff "OITUZ, welches sich im Hafen Konstantza,
verankert bei Liegeplatz 22 befand, durch ein Torpedo ge-
troffen und am Heck beschädigt; wodurch dieser Schiffsteil
versank
Man vermutet, dass der Angriff durch ein deutsches Untersee-
boot oder Schnellboot verursacht wurde."

Archiv des Ministeriums für Nationale Verteidigung
Fach 1401.Dossier Nr. 150, Blatt 75

Aus dem Bericht Nr. 12 v. 3o. Setember 1944 des Kommandanten
des Schiffes CHICULESCO IOAN

Kapitänleutnant Costin N. Constantin

1 September 1944, Stunde 3. eine grosse Detonation
alarmiert die Mannschaft.
Das Heck des Schiffes " OITUZ „ versinkt, glaube, dass es
die Wirkung einer Miene ist.
Im Laufe des Tages erfahre ich, dass ein deutsches U-Boot,
welches sich bei der Einfahrt des Hafens befand, mehrere
Torpedos in Richtung Hafenbecken, abgeschossen hat. Einer
dieser Torpedos hat das Heck des Schiffes " OITUZ ",Liege-
platz 22, getroffen. Ein anderer traf die- Quaimauer des
Liegeplatzes 23.

Archiv des Ministeriums für Nationale Verteidigung
Fach 1401.Dossier Nr. 151, Blatt 329

Also könnten bei etwas Glück ja auch andere Berichte usw. erhalten geblieben sein.

An der Liste der rumänischen Verluste auf der Donau hätte ich natürlich großes Interesse.

Dank und Gruß

Hello Viktor,
for me would be it already interesting to experience whether the war diaries of the Romanian gunboats at all is still present to the engagements after 24 August 1944.

In times of the cold war I succeeded once, I believe in the exchange against information to German mine fields in the black sea to receive two documents from Romania after this time.

From the report No. 36773 v. 1 September 1944.. 12 o'clock.
"at the night from 31 August 1944 on 1 September 1944 the ship" became OITUZ, which embodied in the port Konstantza was, with couch place 22, by a torpedo ge troffen and at the tail damaged; whereby these sail-hurry sank one assumed that the attack was caused by a German Untersee boat or speedboat." Archives of the Ministry for national defense subject 1401.Dossier NR. 150, sheet 75

from the report No. 12 v. ó. Setember 1944 of the commander of the ship CHICULESCO IOAN captain second lieutenant Costin N. Constantin 1 September 1944, hour 3. a large detonation alarms the crew. The tail of the ship "OITUZ? it sinks, believes that it is the effect of an expression. In the course of the daily I experience that a German submarine, which was with the entry of the port shot several torpedoes toward harbor basins. One of these torpedoes met the tail of the ship "OITUZ", lying place 22. Another met the Quaimauer of the couch place 23.
Archives of the Ministry for national defense subject 1401.Dossier NR. 151, sheet 329 thus could have remained received with something luck also different reports etc..

At the list of the Romanian losses on the Danube I would have naturally large interest.

Owing to and greeting

Theo

Hello Victor,
I have some other numbers of German ships lost in the mentioned ports.



QUOTE
The 1st and 3rd River Groups captured between 28 and 30 August: 16 armed tugs, 3 artillery pontoons, a medical convoy, 68 barges. They also blocked German ships in the Calafat (97), Gruia (3),Corabia (27) and Bistret ports (21), where they were seized.


At CALAFAT(km 0795): 22(!), NOT 97, 22 German vessels were lost. Within the 22 vessels were 6 Marine-Fährprahmen (armed barges).

At GRUIA(km 0851): M/Tg "MAINZ" and 2 Marine-Fähr-Prahmen (armed barges) were lost. (you are right with 3!)

At BISTRET(km ): Is there any other name for this port??

QUOTE
The NMS Sborul torpedo-boat was at Cernavoda on 23 August. On 25 August it sunk a German armed tug and captured 9 supply ships near Harsova.


In the area of HARSOVA/HIRSOVA/HÖRSOVA(km 0253), a larger German supply center (CO: Korvettenkapitän KUHLMANN), the Germans lost 4 Marine-Fähr-Prahmen (armed barges) and 3 other ships.


MfG Michi


PS: My sources are from German, Austrian, Hungarian, Russian and English origin.
The only sources I miss are Romanian and Bulgarian.

Hat man eine Chance die Verluste der rumänischen Donauschiffahrt, ( 1944 oder
1941-1945 ? ) irgendwann einmal zu Vergleichzwecken zu erhalten ??
Es gab ja nach Mai 1945 noch rumänische Schiffe in Bayern !

Grüße


Theo

Does one have a chance the losses of Romanian Danube shipping, (1944 or 1941-1945?
to receive) sometime once for comparison purposes??

There were after May 1945 still Romanian ships in Bavaria!

Just curious- how were all these German ships "lost?" By gunfire from Romanian ships? Scuttled? Mines? Surrendered?

I would be very interested in details of any actions, especially any beween German armed barges ( MFPs or AFPs) and Romanian monitors.

26. August 1944

Hallo Victor

Vielen Dank für die lange Liste mit teilweise für mich unbekannten Angaben.

Gestern fiel mir ein Tagebuchauszug vom 26.Aug. 1944 in die Hände.

Welchen rumänischen Schleppzug hat BECHELAREN wohl bei Orsovo versenkt ?

Ich habe nie weiteres dazu gehört oder gelesen.

Dank und Gruß


Theo

hello Victor thank you for the long list with partly data unknown for me.
Yesterday me a diary excerpt of the 26.Aug fell. 1944 into the hands.
Which Romanian schleppzug ( train of barges ) did BECHELAREN probably sink with Orsovo?
I belonged or read never further to it.

Owing to and greeting

Theo

Hat Jemand Daten zum Tug DECEBEL ??

Probably you are right.
Anyway it seems that the list is not complete. I found several other ships lost:

26.05.1943 Ismail Km 72 (damaged; 5 dead)
27.05.1943 Mihai Viteazul Mile 49

These two were the most modern river passenger ships in the Romanian inventory.
