Název v původním jazyce

Battle of the Danube River. The Royal Air Force aircrafts againstriver tankers and river shipping and mining of the river (April – August 1944)

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

At the beginning of April 1944, the Royal Air Force started to mine the Danube River to reduce river shipping, especially oil and oil products transport from Romanian Oil Fields. The Royal Air Force conducted such missions during nights. Germany and Allies had no efficient river and air forces to defend. Losses of vessels became enormous. Germany, Romania and Hungary tried to improve and increase river forces but it was not enough. They used not only river minesweepers but also special minesweeping aircraft to clean the river. The mining of the river surely restricted shipping. It is clear from the report of Slovakian Dunajplavba River Shipping Company. Monthly on average, 110 thousand tons of oil were shipped from Giurgiu Port in Romania until April 1944. It was decreased to 35 thousand tons in May 1944, to 33,6 thousand tons in June 1944, increased to 59,5 thousand tons in July 1944 and once again decreased to 35 thousand tons in August 1944. Because of the war and political situation, shipping of oil from Romania on the Danube River was stopped at the end of August 1944.
