The unit existed from April 1941 until May 1945 and mainly acted in the North Sea.
 
It starts with a secret list "Zerstörer- und Torpedoboots-Verluste" from 1.10.1944 showing all lost boats of that types followed be a list of "Flugzeugabschüsse" starting the date and area enemy aircrafts were shot down. It also shows the name of the boat and their commander.
 
The main item certainly is the war diary of the 3. Torpedobootsflottille which was commanded by Korvettenkapitän Wilhelm Verlohr. The diary starts on 16.8.1944 and ends on 31.8.1944 when the unit operated around Skagerrak.
 
It includes "Geheime Kommandosache" marked documents and looks to be complete. Many interesting signatures! We have not counted the pages but there are quite lot.
