Schnell Boats Operating in the Baltic by Randall Wilson. German Schnell Boats were heavily armed coastal craft often referred to by the Royal Navy as E-boats. Fast, and better armed than the Royal navy MTBs and PT-boats, they became the most effective inshore attack craft of World War Two. Lurssen built the first German MTB in 1930, originally called UZ16 it would later become W1 and finally S1 in 1932. All German Schnell Boats would carry two seperate torpedo tubes. In total 249 Schnell Boats were built for the Kriegsmarine, with a total of 157 being lost or scuttled. The last 92 were split between the Allies with 30 going to the US, 34 going to United Kingdom and 28 to Russia. |
