Re: Black Cross Red Star, Vol. 2, now sent to the printer - this is not the old edition!

BCRS V2 P64 has SKA-063 sunk by the Luftwaffe navy.su/other/lost/index.htm has this craft sunk by coastal artillery. I believe a number of Soviet small craft were either sunk or damaged during this period so you can understand the confusion over who sank who.

Operation Eisstoss or ice thrust 4-5 April 42 and operation Gotz Von Berlichingen
BCRS V2 page 174-178
Battleship October Revolution
BCRS V2 4 Apr 42 near miss 24 Apr 42 "close hit"
Russian and Soviet Battleships Stephen McLaugin
4 Apr 42 hit "1 heavy and 3 medium bombs" 24 Apr 42 "3 bombs' "Repairs lasted until November 1943

Note Mclaugin has a video on youtube "Designing Warships For Stalin" and has a book in the works "Russian and Soviet Cruisers"

Cruisers
Maxim Gorki 4 Apr 42 near miss

Chronik Des Seekrieg 1939-1945 which is online mentions other ships being damaged during these operations and it mentions German artillery being used to supress Soviet AA fire.
