Hello Drgondog
checked what material I used 4 years ago. I didn’t see the order itself but Helmut Schnatz referred it in his book on Schwinemünde bombing. From my sources I could only confirm that the order number and the date matched. And I didn’t had to figure the reason, Schnatz gives it in his book, and as you wrote it makes sense, especially because the front was active and the Soviet military had asked the attack in order to eliminate the powerful German naval formation which used Schwinemünde as its base and which gave powerful artillery support to German units trapped into some town along the coast, of which Kolberg was most famous. IIRC also Korpsgruppe von Tettau got some support while fighting its way along the coast towards Dievenow/Dziwnów.
