Axis convoys

Does anyone have any information on German\Axis convoys ?
Allied convoys are much and well documented but cant find anything on Axis ones which is a surprise as the KM were meticulous in documenting everything

Anyone ?

You might try the following book, it has a few pages regarding German convoys around Norway. Out of approximately 175 books that I have about the German Navy and the Battle of the Atlantic, this is the only one I can immediately think of that discusses German convoys.

War at Sea, 1935 - 1945 by Jurgen Rohwer, ISBN: 1840673621, my edition is dated 2001

check pp. 87 - 89 in the chapter Artic and Norway

North Sea convoys should consist of maybe half a dozen small merchants of no more than 3000 GRT, along with an almost equal number of escorts and flak ships. Maybe one or two medium merchants at most.

Hi BBW,

try this one:

http://www.wlb-stuttgart.de/seekrieg/kv-ndx.htm

Belongs to the (german) site:

http://www.wlb-stuttgart.de/seekrieg/chronik.htm

You know how to "translate" it online. It's a - nearly - "official" page.
