Hi

a quick online translation

1936 view the construction of the Dutch coaster HENCA. It goes out, all just, work-sites Niestern of the city of Delfzijl, and that after an order of the ship owner H. J'S. HAS. Krijt of Heemstede. It is requisitioned by the Germans is affected to the supplying of the islands anglo-normandes from May 1940.
We are in the afternoon of September 9 1942. A boat group sails in the northwest of the Cape of the Hague. Four vessels compose this convoy: the coasters HENCA and escorted TINDA of the patrol vehicles V 207 and V 209 of the 2nd vorpostenflotille. Sudden, an escadrille of the Royal Air Forces goes out of the horizon and passes to the attack…
The HENCA is the first victim. Touched by a bomb, it does not be necessary for him more than seven minutes to overwhelm and flow. Comes the turn of the V 207 to be the prey of the airplanes of the RAF. The patrol vehicle violently is strafed. There remains, despite that, afloat but must deplore two deaths and seventeen injureds. As for the V209 and TINDA, the latter itself some go out undamaged.
