[StartQuote] Hi Arjan, I run Bunkers in Jersey Facebook page and I am a member of the Channel Islands Occupation Society. I have been able to collect quite a significant amount of research on this subject. I undertake a ceremony on or around the annual anniversary of the action to tell the story at the site of the memorial on the island. So, to answer your question as to the German side, 4 were killed including one Army engineer, 1 missing (German Army), 41 were wounded. 3 German minesweepers, which formed part of the convoy on that fateful day, the M4621, 22 and 26 were so severely damaged that they were taken out of service. The German dead were as follows: M4626 Chief Boatswain Hans Buchhoilz, Leading Machinist Heinz Hildebrandt M4622 Leading Seaman Herman Reinhardt Engineer Battalion 319 Lance Corporal Herman Schwen All were buried at St Brelade's Military Cemetery, Jersey. In 1962 their remains were transferred to the large German cemetery at Mont-des-Huisnes, near Mont St Michel, Normandy, France. As you know it was the M4626 which was rammed by the PT-509. Let me know if you require any more information. [EndQuote]
