Another TTd Molch:
Length 10.4 m Hull diameter: 1.8 m Drive: 1x elmotor 9.6 kW (13 hp)
I would just like to add to the bitex that the loss of 70 submarines is reported together with the Bibers (but of course each literature can formulate it differently). According to the British, 390 pieces were taken over, which may not be a completely accurate number.

As of June 12, a total of 393 of these coastal ships had been delivered, according to German sources. Probably their first goal was the attack on the Allied landings in southern France on the night of 25 to 26 September. In 1944, 12 Molchs sailed against the Allies, no success was recorded, and only two Molchs returned. further action was in parallel with Bibery but also unsuccessful.
