my new book "Die Kriegsmarine in der Ägäis 1941-1944"
Dearfriends,
On September 27th, 2008 I had announced my new book as follows: After many years of research and study of almost all the existing war diaries of the German Navy (Kriegsmarine), the priceless help of eager friends and the bibliography created by industrious people that dealt with the subject with much love, I wish to present my new book: DIE KRIEGSMARINE IN DER ÄGÄIS IM II. WK. 1941-1944 Schiffe, Einheiten, Fp.Nr., Offiziere, Gefechte that is, THE GERMAN NAVY IN THE AEGEAN SEA DURING WORLD WAR II, 1941-1944 Ships, units, field post numbers, officers, and naval engagements BYRON TESAPSIDES Hardcover, 302 pages, 120 photos (14 in color) and naval engagements’ sketches Language: German ISBN : 978-960-930812-0 Price: 35,00 Euros + shipping costs (courier 8.- Euros) I have tried to collect all units of the German Navy operating in Greece during the occupation, their personnel, field post numbers, the names of all German officers and of the boat/ship commanders. All the above also refers to the Coastal Protection Flotillas (Küstenschutzflottillen) Attika, Saloniki, Lemnos, Crete, Dodecanese, Western Greece and Peloponnese. I, also, thought it wise to collect the names and information about all the motorboats (around 2,000) in German service and the ones that joined the Allies, based on Mr. Hristos Dounis’ excellent book. Various engagements of German ships/boats with Allied airplanes are described in the original documentation of the war diaries. Information and documents I have recently collected made me decide to work out and expand the book. I would like to present the second updated edition of my book today in this forum. I have, also, added the following in this effort of mine: 1. A special chapter on the cement ships with rare photos 2. Update of the ship directory (especially of the M/S in German service) 3. New officers and ships 4. A new chapter with reports of engagements between German ships and Allied aircraft. As for the attacks and, usually, sinking of the German ships, they are described in original reports by the officers in charge, commanding officers or gunners of the anti-aircraft crews, and they include the development of the engagement with text and sketches. War diaries of the following units and formations have been used for the reports: 5. Gebirgsdivision, Admiral Südost, 12. Küstenschutzflottille Attika, 31. Bordflakabteilung (Piräus), Admiral Ägäis, 12. Räumbootflottille, 21. U-Boot-Flottille, 9. Torpedobootsflottille, “The official history of the Italian Navy in world war II” and the book “I MAS E LE MOTOSILURANTI ITALIANE”. Among other new chapters are the following: Preparations and the conduct of Operation MERKUR May 1941 (the invasion of Crete) leichte Schiffsstaffel Kreta (Light motorship group) survivors’ reports The sinking of Marburg and Kybels Destruction of the M/S LI, LV, LVI, LXIV Sinking of Ithaka Torpedoing of Nino-Bixio Description of the Thisbe engagement Description of the M/S Seeräuber engagement Description of the M/S Amsel engagement Description of the M/S Amsel engagement Description of the freighter Sabine engagement Description of the freighter Tanais engagement Description of the M/S Fink engagement Description of the M/S Michele engagement Description of the freighter Orion engagement Description of the M/S Nordmark engagement Description of the freighter Carola engagement Description of the freighter Toni engagement Description of the freighter Tergestea engagement Description of the freighter Porto Fino engagement Description of the freighter Teti engagement UJ-2101 sinking of the Greek submarine Katsonis UJ-2102 sinking of the Greek submarine Triton Description of the UJ-2105 anti-submarine ship engagement on 24 September 1943 in the Ionian Sea Description of the engagement and finally sinking of the anti-submarine ship UJ-2101 on 1 June 1944 Description of the engagement and sinking of the anti-submarine ship UJ-2105 on 1 June 1944 Destruction of the UJ-2101, UJ-2105, freighter. Sabine, freighter Gerturd and TA-16 convoy on 1 June 1944 Sinking of the high-speed boat LS-6 Destruction of transports F 308, 327, 496, 336, 532 and of the freighter Olympos Report of the operation to disarm the Italians in the Cyclades Sinking of the R-188 Sinking of the R-192 What happened to the Italian MAS and MS torpedo-boats in the Aegean after the Italian Armistice Each new book costs 39,00 Euros + shipping (8,00 Euros by courier) All Forum members buying the new book will also receive (free of charge) the War Diary of the Attika Naval Command (Kriegstagebuch Seeko Attika 1941-1944) on a CD. The ones who had bought the first edition of the book will receive, in addition, the War Diary of Battle Group Müller (Kampfgruppe Müller) for the occupation of the Dodecanese islands during the autumn of 1943. Best regards Byron Tesapsides |

Did this title ever see the light of day? I've never seen any reference to it other than here. Sounds like a fascinating book.
