30 June 1942 Part 4

30 June 1942 divisional review of St Malo diary, 16–31 May

Secret. 3rd Security Division, G 3462 AII/Bö., 30 June 1942, to Commander Security West, two copies; information to Convoy Office St Malo. Submits one copy of the 16–31 May diary.

On page 4: regular checks of boats’ MES effectiveness must be ensured. The local measuring station’s view that degaussing should be omitted in favour of higher current is not shared. Individual measuring stations apparently draw entirely different practical conclusions from experience, leaving no clear policy. The previous principle was thorough degaussing and the lowest possible current. Signed on behalf [signature not securely read].
