bruce d Posted October 14, 2022 Share #782 Posted October 14, 2022 October 14, 1942. The German hilfskreuzer (auxiliary cruiser, disguised armed raider) Komet was sunk off Cap de la Hague in the early hours. Komet was attempting to break out into the Atlantic and was ambushed by British, Polish and Norwegian Hunt class destroyers and British and Dutch MTBs. The wreck was found in 2006. mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
