More info please

Hi All
I have a request for identification of this ship, this is probably minelayer.
Armed with a cannon 10.5 cm?
Maybe in August to determine which fleet, these ships belonged?
Another question is whether any of the forts of Norway benefited from such guns as the ship


Best regards

I'm pretty sure "minensuch" = minesweeper, ie the opposite of a minelayer...

Can't help with your questions though, sorry.

I think this is a Minensuchboot 1935. (Minesweeper)
M6 was in the 2. Minensuchflottille together with M2, M9, M10, M11, M12, M13 from oct. 1939.

Name: M6,
Construction: Oderwerke Stettin, 1937
Launched: 08.01.1938
Commissioned: 06.06.1939
Fate: Sunk after mine hit near Lorient on 23.10.1941.

And they had one or two 10,5 cm cannons.
I guess some cannons could be used somewhere in Norway, but I dont know if they did or where exactly.
