a quite unknown KM icebreaker: the Pollux.
Pollux was the name reserved for the sister unit of Castor (2°) but she was never built.
Another unit was made by KM Werft in Kiel and launched at the end of 1943. She was probably captured by Russian and rechristened, probably, as Pollusk.

Beautiful as always, I always loves the concept that the Germans had Icebreakers

There's no such thing as "nothing left to draw" If you can down 10 pints and draw, you're doing alright by my standards

I'm surprised they didn't fit her out with more AA guns.

Awesome!!! I was almost sure they wanted to build her in Holland along with two others! I must habe been wrong!

Rodondo: why? Have you taken a closer look at the weather conditions in the Baltic?
I'm from the Swedish city of Malmö, in South sweden, and we've experienced some terrible, iced-over winters.... and that's only some 50-60 miles from the German baltic coast!

I know of those conditions, I have a Swedish relative (however I have never seen snow!) I was presuming that the fleet operated mainly out of the Northsea and the Baltic sea had only a few warships upon it.

IIRC Germany has a very limited access to the North Sea, and that is why the Britis so effectively blokaded Germany in both world wars. Most of the German navy is based in the Baltic sea.

Novice is quite right in his statement. That's why they dug the Kaiser Wilhelm canal, now known as the Kiel canal to enable a quick transfer from the Baltic to the north sea. Wilhelmshafen is no longer the main base; Kiel is...
