4.May
1945 the German Schnellboot 103 was on her way towards
Flensborg through Lille Bælt. On board the torpedo boat
was Oberleutnant zur See Hans Wulf Heckel who had taken
over the command over her only two days ago and a crew of
32 men. Many of these were not actually part of the crew,
but personnel under transfer to Flensborg. Outside
Als she was attacked by Allied planes and sank shortly
after. The wreck rest today approximately three
nautical miles southeast of Mommark on a depth of 30
meter.
