of approximately 9,000 tons of Russian coal into Sassnitz. It was officially

was loaded into the 0 ships in Gdansk (Danzig) from two Russian ships
which brought the coal from Riga.

into Gdansk from Ventspils and Klaipeda (Memel), as well as Riga, and
then transshipped to other East German ports such as Rostock and Warnemuende.
