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 Kirov 4 Apr 42 bomb hit but failed to explode 24 Apr 42 2 direct bomb hits in the stern 78 KIA 46 WIA Warship 2009 The Soviet light cruisers of the Kirov Class Maxim Gorki 4 Apr 42 2 close misses 24 Apr 42 no hits but damaging near misses killed 3 and wounded 5. 25 and 27 Apr more near misses damged most of the radios and rangefinders as well as boiler no.3 and one of the turbines. Kirov 4/5 Apr 42 bomb hit near frame 273 damaging FC equipment, a 100mm gun, and a 45mm gun. 24 Apr 42 hit by 3 bombs and 15cm round near the after funnel, damaging all six 100mm guns, the after funnel and mainmast: 86 dead, 46 wounded 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. |

Re: Black Cross Red Star, Vol. 2, now sent to the printer - this is not the old edition!
I hope I didn't get some people to upset with my errata ect and send me to the Gulag
Andrew is working on a data base of ships sunk or damaged by the Luftwaffe and some of the above data i sent to him for it. I am possibly one of the few people who sent him data on Soviet ships. I also don't want people some years down the road to wonder why the database and BCRS 2 differ. In BCRS 1 and 2 there is mention of supply problems on youtube ww2tv they have a presentation Railways in German occupied Eastern Europe which tells you what a mess they were in in the USSR. I have bought BCRS vols 4,5, new 1,2 and old 3 as well as other books by CB and found them fine reading and some impressive research ect I never found anything greatly wrong with them until this one. I will be buying the nem BCRS 3 later this year. In years to come I will be buying BCRS 6 and others when they come out. |
