GERMAN SHIPWRECK NEAR RASOTICA BAY AND PLANIKA

Danijel Frka

The Adriatic seabed contains numerous remains of ships from World War I and II, whose wrecks are still silent monuments to the war events of 80 years ago and more. Many of the wrecks of ships sunk during the war were recovered by the Brodospas company after the war, some of them were repaired and set sail again, while a large number of unusable wrecks ended up in the scrapyard and served as raw material for new steel ships built in our shipyards. This fate, to the joy of us divers, nevertheless spared one small German landing craft that rests at a shallow depth not far from the small settlement of Rasotica, whose picturesque red beach we can briefly notice when we drive into the right bay. This is the story of this unusual boat.

In the late 1930s, the German army (Wehrmacht) did not have a modern landing craft, especially not for transporting and landing tanks on shore, so their development began in the late 1930s. The best design was the one from the Bodan shipyard in Kressbronn on Lake Constance, which designed the Pionierlandungsboot 39, or PiLaBo 39 (engineering landing craft 39). Serial production began in 1940, and the new craft entered military service in September of that same year. The Pilabo 39 was a modular boat: it could be disassembled into two mirror-symmetrical longitudinal halves, suitable for transport by rail. The hull was 15 m long, 4.7 m wide and powered by two 86 hp diesel engines, giving the boat a speed of 9.2 knots. With a dead weight of 20 tons, the Pilabo 39 had a maximum load capacity of up to 20 tons.

The PiLaBo 40 series, which followed the PiLaBo 39, had the same engine system and the same modular construction (the possibility of dismantling into two halves) as its predecessor, but was larger in size. With a length of 19 m and a width of 5.93 m, it weighed 30 tons, but could carry the same weight of cargo.

Based on operational experience with the PiLaBo 39 and 40, a new version followed, the improved landing engineer boat PiLaBo 41, the production of which began in 1942.

The PiLaBo 41 boat was 19.3 m long and 5.93 m wide. The empty boat weighed 35 tons, and it was powered by two 120 hp engines, which allowed it to reach a speed of 8 knots. The PiLaBo 41 could carry loads of up to 40 tons. While the PiLaBo 39 and 40 had a bow with doors that opened left and right, and from which the transition rails between the boat and the shore were then laid, the PiLaBo 41 had a movable bow ramp that also served as a bow, and after lowering, it served as a ramp between the deck and the shore. These boats could also be disassembled into two equal longitudinal halves so that they could be loaded into railway wagons for land transport.

The last in the series of landing boats was the PiLaBo 43, significantly larger than the previous models. It was 35.5 m long, 8.60 m wide, weighed 145 tons and had a carrying capacity of 95 tons on a loading area of ​​230 m². A light anti-aircraft gun was mounted on the starboard side in front. Pilabo 43 consisted of three rows of pontoons, each row with three pontoons, so she too could be disassembled into parts and loaded onto railway wagons.

The landing craft were organized in the so-called trains. Several boats formed a train. The first major maneuvers were held in March 1941 in the Baltic Sea, on the sandy coast of the Pomeranian island of Wollin. Two transport ships carried several landing craft on deck, which were then unloaded into the sea by ship cranes and the soldiers and cargo were transferred to the shore.

NJEMAČKA OLUPINA NEDALEKO UVALE RASOTICA i PLANIKA

Danijel Frka

U podmorju Jadrana počivaju brojni ostaci brodova iz 1. i 2. svjetskog rata, čije su olupine i danas nijemi spomenici ratnih događanja od prije 80 i više godina. Mnoge olupine brodova potopljenih u ratu izvadila je poslije rata tvrtka Brodospas, neki od njih popravljeni su i ponovno zaplovili, dok je velik broj neupotrebljivih olupina završio u rezalištu i poslužio kao sirovina za nove čelične brodove koji su građeni u našim brodogradilištima. Ta je sudbina, na radost nas ronilaca, ipak mimoišia jednu malu desantnu njemačku brodicu koja počiva na maloj dubini nedaleko od malog naselja Rasotica , čiju slikovitu crvenu plažu možemo na koji trenutak zapaziti kada se vozimo u desnu uvalu Ovo je priča o toj neobičnoj brodici.

Koncem tridesetih godina dvadesetog stoljeća njemačka vojska (Wehrmacht) nije raspolagala suvremenom desantnom brodicom, pogotovo ne za prijevoz i iskrcavanje tenkova na obalu, pa je od kasnih 1930-ih pokrenut njihov razvoj. Najboljim se pokazao dizajn brodogradilišta Bodan u Kressbronnu na Bodenskom jezeru, koje je osmislilo Pionierlandungsboot 39, odnosno PiLaBo 39 (inženjerijsku desantnu brodicu 39). Serijska proizvodnja pokrenuta je 1940., a nova brodica ušla je u vojnu službu u rujnu te iste godine. Pilabo 39 bila je brodica modularne gradnje: mogla se rastaviti na dvije zrcalno simetrične uzdužne polovice, pogodne za prijevoz željeznicom. Trup je bio dugačak 15 m, širok 4,7 m a pogonska snaga bila su dva dizel motora od po 86 KS koji su brodici davali brzinu od 9,2 čv. Uz vlastitu težinu od 20 tona, Pilabo 39 imala je najveću nosivost do 20 tona.

Serija PiLaBo 40, koja je slijedila nakon PiLaBo 39, imala je isti sustav motora i istu modularnu konstrukciju (mogućnost rastavljanja na dvije polovice) kao njen prethodnik, ali je po dimenzijama bila veća. Dužine 19 m i širine 5,93 m, težila je 30 tona, ali je mogla ponijeti i jednaku težinu tereta.

Na temelju operativnih iskustava sa PiLaBo 39 i 40, uslijedila je i nova inačica, poboljšana desantna inženjerijska brodica PiLaBo 41, čija je proizvodnja započela 1942. godine.

Brodica PiLaBo 41 bila je dugačka 19,3 m i široka 5,93 m. Masa prazne brodice bila je 35 t, a pokretala su je dva motora od po 120 KS, što joj je omogućilo postizanje brzine od 8 čvorova. PiLaBo 41 mogao je nositi terete do 40 tona. Dok su PiLaBo 39 i 40 imale pramac s vratima koja su se otvarala lijevo i desno, te sa kojeg su zatim polagane prijelazne šine između brodice i obale, PiLaBo 41 imala je pomičnu pramčanu rampu koja je služila i kao prama, a nakon spuštanja, služila je kao rampa između palube i obale. I ove brodice mogle su se također rastaviti na dvije jednake uzdužne polovice kako bi se moglo utovariti u željezničke vagone za kopneni prijevoz.

Posljednja u nizu desantnih brodica bila je PiLaBo 43, znatno veća od prethodnih modela. Bila je dugačka 35,5 m, široka 8,60 m, težila je 145 tona i imala je nosivost 95 tona na utovarnoj površini od 230 m?. Na desnoj bočnoj strani sprijeda postavljen je laki protuavionski top. Pilabo 43 sastojao se od tri reda pontona, svaki red sa po tri pontona, te se tako i ona mogla rastaviti na dijelove i utovariti na željezničke vagone.

Desantne brodice bile su organizirane u tzv. vlakove. Nekoliko brodica formiralo je vlak. Prvi veliki manevri održani su u ožujku 1941. u Baltičkom moru, na pješčanoj obali pomeranskog otoka Wollin. Dva su transportna broda nosila više desantnih brodica na palubi, koje su zatim brodskim dizalicama iskrcane na more te su ukrcane vojnike i teret prebacile na obalu.
