Simple question, what was The Obrestad line (used for deploying Subs in the North Sea) and where was it? (start end points or area covered etc) Thanks in anticipation
Try: 'The Gathering Storm: The Naval War in Northern Europe September 1939 - April 1940' By Geirr H. Haarr. It can be searched via Google Books and Obrestad appears five times. See: https://www.google.co.uk/books/edit...="Obrestad+line"&pg=PT384&printsec=frontcover A 2001 St Andrews PhD thesis refers to Montrose-Obrestad Line,; the format is awful to read and it may appear elsewhere: NORTH WESTERN APPROACHES : OPERATIONAL ASPECTS OF SCOTLAND'S MARITIME ROLE IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR by Andrew Jeffrey See: https://research-repository.st-andr...d=B47159130A842D89E7FB9194D52EDD6D?sequence=3 It appears from numerous naval references the Obrestad Line (was named after the Norwegian town of the same name).
Magic. The PHD thesis is on: North Western approaches : operational aspects of Scotland's maritime role in the Second World War With a map too!
