Re: 4th May 1945 - attack on U-155
Hi Adriano
I have been researching attacks on German shipping in the spring of 1945 for quite a few years. I worked on a book about five to six years ago that was supposed to be called 'Five minutes to twelve' (German for 'just before closing time') about Coastal Command attacks on German shipping in Danish waters.
I researched in Kew (mostly AIR 27 and AIR 15) and Freiburg plus in Danish sources. I also travelled around in the UK and talked to former Coastal Command crews and in Germany and talked to Luftwaffe airmen and Naval crews.
Time went by and I did not get the book out. I just started again last year and is now expanding the book to cover attacks on shipping in North German, Danish and Norwegean (south) waters in March to May 1945. I am covering British (Coastal & Bomber Command plus 2 TAF), American (9th AF) plus Russian Naval Air Arm.
I know that the book will be quite big and it might end up only on the internet ...
Besides searching for information, I also bought a lot of photos on the German EBAY and from local stores in Germany and Denmark.
I expect the book to be finished in about a year.
