Seenotflottille 13
Formation and History. (Dec 42 - Aug 44?)
Formed Dec 42 or early 1943 at Barre/S France and subordinated to Seenotbereichskdo. XIII. There is no further information on this Seenotflottille and even its formation is somewhat questionable. However, since all of the Seenotbereichskommandos had a component Seenotflottille it seems probable that it was formed and existed until the Allied invasion of South France on 15 August 1944.[1]
