Individual evidence

  1. ↑ Smaller captured destroyers were used as torpedo boats in the Kriegsmarine because a destroyer had 11 command officers and formed its own administrative unit, whereas a torpedo boat only had 4 command officers and its management was done by its flotilla. Due to a lack of personnel, prey destroyers were therefore used as torpedo boats.
