Re: Claims of sinking Soviet ships and vessels in the Gulf of Finland 24-25 August 1941
Hello Mirek,

24.Aug.41 the big oiler No.11 sunk by Luftwaffe (by II./KG77).

The only ship hurt by Luftwaffe (by II./KG77 also) on 25.Aug.41 at sea was the steamer "Daugava" (VT-522) with 506 wounded soldiers aboard. Though "Daugava" has received a direct hit, lost the speed and was towed, the damages weren't serious. But 21 men lost their life (16 of them due to jumping overboard).
In Tallin the tug S-103 was sunk during the unsuccessful attack against the cruiser "Kirov".

Best regards,
Andrey
