Does anyone know the fuel transfer rate the Kriegsmarine achieved using the astern fueling method? I found a document at uboatarchive concerning supply ships but there was no mention of hose diameter or transfer rate. At HyperWar, Gray Steel and Black Oil, it states the US found they could only transfer 16,000 gal/hr (~51 tons/hr) using that method. Thanks.
