I have just tried and the site looks blank with all content missing

Many thanks for the link. I had it bookmarked and then the website was rearranged and a lot of these historical documents seemed to disappear. The Royal Australian Navy did something similar because they thought nobody was reading them and it took a lot of badgering to get them to reinstate them.

Thanks for that Jeff. T&F want £48 for an individual to see the article. For that price I would want a book to keep not a pdf.

Thank you. That is all very useful.

Thanks for looking Jeff.

The article originally appeared in the January 1983 edition of Rivista Marittima, would that be any easier to find?

I am looking for a copy of an article from 1990-Donini, Luigi (1990). "Cryptographic Services of the Royal (British) and Italian Navies. A Comparative Analysis of their Activities during World War II". This appeared in Cryptologia XIV p126. Can any of you find me a copy please?

I now have a copy of ADM223/45 and I have been told that the DEFE 3 files are more informative than ADM223/31, would anybody have a copy of these DEFE 3 files to save me having to download them individually? The period I am looking for is 1941 to April 1943

Reference: ADM 223/45 Description: Analysis of convoy sailings from Italy to North Africa Date: 1941 Sept.-1943 June

Reference: ADM 223/31 Description: Italian convoy reports Date: 1941 Oct.-1943 May

Would anybody have digitised copies of these documents related to Italian convoys to North Africa?

Grazie mille per questi

Would anybody have access to the following article and could send me a copy please? Le decrittazioni della Regia Marina", Enrico Cernuschi. Storia Militare n. 163-4, April and May 2007 respectively.

Thank you for that. I now need to find a chart of the Tyrrhenian Sea and specifically the area south of Naples.

By chart compiler I mean the organisation that drew the chart such as the UK Hydrographic Office which compiles UK Admiralty charts. I doubt that the RM were using British charts during the wartime but who knows.

Which chart compiler did the Regia Marina use for navigation at sea? When a position was noted in the log was the bearing expressed in True or Magnetic? Was a distance expressed in nautical miles or kilometres?

I have read the patrol report again and the CO of the submarine thought that he must have hit something but gives no details as to the damage. The Italian account is a short signal mentioning the attack. The patrol report mentions that the vehicles were parked near a cemetery in Sirte so I am...

Did Italian forces mine any of the beaches in Libya ? A British submarine attacked a group of vehicles near Sirte with its 4 inch gun and thought that they had hit the convoy . The Italian forces state that the convoy was not hit and all the shells landed on the beach. Could this have set off...
