| AFAIK, yes, these are correct, but the names of the Romanian ships are "Regele Ferdinand" and "Marasesti"... as well as "Ghiculescu"! See http://www.worldwar2.ro/arme/?language=en&article=25... |

M-59 lost off Sulina between October 26th and November 8th 1941, so no chanse for Ferdinand ramming. The correct reason - a Romanian mine off Sulina. Bulgarian PC Belomorets and Charnomorets didn't make any attack December 6th off Varna, because they stayed in harour without engins. Tha sub was lost on Romanian mine. M-118 was lost between October 1st and October 3rd 1942, but probably on mine, not after Ghiculescu attack. Russian diver researched all region of Salsburg sinking (Ghiculescu attacked the sub, which torpedoed that ship) but found nothing. The wreck of Salsburg was raised after the war - no another wreck was found in that area. M-31 was sunk by d/c of Xanten and some FR-boats of Jibrieni. Uj-80 never existed. L-6 probably sunk April 16th after BV-138 attack. Earlier she was damaged by d/c of UJ-115 Rosita. No Romanian gunboat in that convoy - only SS Kassa, Tisza, Lola, Uj-115, R-35, R-203. |

| Здравствуйте, Miroslaw! As you may recollect I was in touch with you regarding the books you wrote on чф вмф ( Torpedos) by email. Regarding the M-59 can you cite any other sources of information except that Russian website ? According my sources also from Russia, it was rammed by Ferdinand. Also I have an other question to you regarding Kapitan Александр Иванович Маринеско related to W.Gustloff... was the Podvodnia Lotka which sunk Gustloff of the M-19 series...? this because in Germany they made a movie about it and either the movie has wrong facts or the facts are wrong . Thanks Alex K |

Hello, Alex! All my knowledge based not on website, but on the soviet and German documents. If you saw my book, you could find a lot of translated documents and scheme from different docs. BTW: Ferdinand didn't ram any subs on December 5th, 1941. I'm not sure that she went at sea at all. Accordingly KTB Deutschen marinemission in Romania on that day sailed on 13.00 from Constanta to Sulina only R. Maria and Marasesti. They had no contact with subs. BTW: Under the begging the siege of Sevastopol in the first days of November, 1941 all soviets M-type subs of 2nd Brigade firstly were transferred to Caucasus base and a small grou pe of them returned in Sebastopol only in the middle of Decebmer. I don't know what mean the sub "M-19 series"? The biggest number of prewar series was XV and during the war in 1943 in the USSR was adopted the new system with number of series used three figures. |

| Hello Miroslaw Captain 3rd rank Alexander Marinescu was the captain of the S13 which sunk the Gustloff, the most controversial but also most famous captain of the sub fleet of Soviet Navy in WWII. The S-13 ( my mistake not S-19) was a modern type sub . As of today many things about Marinescu and the sinking of Gustloff remain unknown. Recommend you and rest of the Naval members of this forum to buy this DVD about Marinescu and Gustloff. His father was in WWI a Rumanian sailor while himself was born in Odessa. http://www.amazon.de/Die-Gustloff-DVDs-Kai-Wiesinger/dp/B001251S9Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1325097302&sr=8-1 Best Regards Alex |

Born 1913 in Odessa, Alexandr Marinesko was the son of a Romanian sailor from Galazi(?) and an Ukrainian woman. His father had fled to Russia after beating(?!) an officer and settled in Odessa, changing the last letter "u" of his name to "o". So, in WW1 his father was not in Romania. |

30 people commented the DVD on amazon.de and the average rate is 2 out of 5. I am wondering why the low rating? What didn't they like in the movie? Gen. Dénes |

| Most of them complain that the love story in the movie overlaps the actual drama of the loss of so many people, others complain that it's not using the actual facts as a basis, others say that it's trying to be a Titanic copycat and so on |

| In my humble opinion the dislike rate is mostly caused by the new generation who considered Marinescus action as a war crime, by torpedoing a ship which in their views was loaded with inocent civilians. Some say that the movie is poorely dramatized and with poor casting. Some fail to understand what was done to the Russians prior that event and during the entire war and yet overseeing its cargo and the many troops aboard including the SS which any other Allied sub commander would have considered Gustloff without any hesitation as a legit target. Not understandable to me is the failure or interest of the Russians and Germans to conduct a post WWII board of inquiry and reveal the full truth to the public. Fact is that Marinescu achieved his glory long after his death, a man who was convicted of theft and died poor at relatively young age.
