Norm F Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 (edited) i want to share my 6 latest addition:the heavy from this shipping are BREMSE and METEOR,... thanks Very nice tallies! My Dad served on both the BREMSE and the METEOR -- on the BREMSE in 1939 during the filming of a movie in which dummy funnels were added to the ship to impersonate the H.M.S. AMPHION, and on the METEOR in 1940 when it was the floating headquarters of the B.S.O (Befehlshaber der Sicherung der Ostsee). He would have worn a BREMSE tally at one time but not a METEOR tally since he was a Leutnant by that time. Question: What's the difference between the Artillerieschulschiff Bremse tally and the Artillerieschulboot Bremse tally? Which one is earlier and why the name change? Best regards, ---Norm Edited September 28, 2011 by Norm F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Williamson Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I wouldn't stake my life on it, but I think that Boot came before Schiff. Bremse was built for the Reichsmarine, befopre the Kriegsmarine was created and at that time the artillery training vessels were Artillerieschulboote. I have seen a photo of her described as Artillerieschulboot with the Reichsmartine flag, so my guess is that she was originally known as an Artillerieschulboot and later classified as an Artillerieschulschiff. A "ship" is generally considered bigger than a "boat", and Bremse was about the size of a biggish destroyer /light cruiser (the lighter German destroyers were of course known as Torpedoboote, again going with the smaller vessels being classed as "boats". Thats my take on it anyway (but I could be completely wrong ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm F Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Thanks very much Gordon. That makes a lot of sense. So probably already a "Schiff" by 1939 vs. right at the outbreak of war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you please clarify? really it would be very interesting to me know all the answers to your questions from above because i don,t know anything about half flotilles,what were their missions and where was based the 1.torpedobootshalfflotille.1 and what is the meaning of the word torpedobootshalfflotille..... thanks in advance for your responses Edited March 14, 2012 by SICHERHEITSDIENTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2dresq Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 Here's my understanding. As Flottilles were formed from various craft: Schnellboot, Raeumboot, Minensuch, Torpedo, etc.. Flottille and Halb flottile. There was a number of units to make up a full flottille; this number would vary depending on the ship class. I believe that the Torpedoboots needed a total of 10 to make a full flottille. So a Halb (half) flottille would be in the same location, ie Swinemunde (torpedobootsflottille 1) or Wilhelmshaven for (torpedobootsflottille 2.) As the unit expanded and more ships were introduced they would be assigned to a newly created halb flottille until their numbers increased to obtain the full designation and they would drop the (halb) name. The Schnellboots had 8 boats per flottille. So, Schnellbootshalbflottille would have less than the 8 required to classify it as a full flottille. Hope this helps. Once again, this is my understanding. If I am mistaken, please someone, correct me. Thanks! JustinG 2dresq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Those are some sweet additions. Are they prewar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2dresq Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 Yes, all these are all pre-war/early 1939 manufactured. Wish it was full length, but these destroyers are rather rare and sought after. I feel lucky to have obtained such a nice pristine example, even if it is shortened. Regards, 2dresq JustinG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2dresq Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) As probably everyone can attest to: Whenever there is something that you need to complete or add to a collection, the elusive pieces (which may not be that rare) still are rare to you.
