Secret German seaplane base on Novaya Zemlya

Hi guys

What do we know about the secret German seaplane base at Karmakuly on the island of Novaya Zemlya off the North Russia mainland? Apparently covertly established in 1943, and briefly operated what?

In 1942, and possibly earlier, the Soviets had used Karmakuly as a Polar Station and seaplane base, but German submarine U-601 shelled the station and destroyed two flying boats circa 1 August 1942. Presumably then abandoned.

One or more of our experts will know more!

Cheers
Brian
