31st Jan

I have in addition:
The Royal Norwegian Navy's submarine KNM "Uredd" (Lt. Rören) left Lerwick on a special mission to Bodø with agents who should destroy a powerstation at Sulitjelma Mine close to the Swedish border. The boat never reached Bodø and supposedly hit a mine barrier laid by the German mine-layer Skagerrak on 7th Dec 1942 which was enforced just a few days earlier before the Uredd was due to arrive at Bodø.

RE about the 23rd :I've also seen somewhere that there were 8 boats, but that was wrong in someway, I think it was something about one of the "numbers" had not arrived Shetland at that time...can't really remember, but whatever they attacced I found as "no interesting for Shetland" information, the same can be said about "Uredd"...It dissappered, and that's enough information. I have a book about the Norw. submarines in WWII, so I have seen this, or something like it before, but I don't think is neccesary to add. One or two liners are best in "Years", do I think, apart of something very special, that don't fit into any category as a page of it's own. ;-) I have a lot of notes and some half written articles about the different Nowegian units that were stationed in Shetland, one day I maybe find time to finish them ;-), and there things like this would maybe fit in, but there is a lot of other things that should be done first..., Cheers, Oddrun 13:39, 14 June 2007 (MDT)
