Befehlshaber der Sicherung West, 1940-1944

Inventory description: The main tasks of the security forces were mine defence, mine laying, submarine hunting, reconnaissance and outpost service as well as escort service. Until the beginning of the 2nd World War, all the units for the security, escort, outpost, mine search and clearance service were assigned to the leader of the mine search boats. When war broke out, the commanders of the Baltic and North Sea security forces were deployed. Among them were placed the leaders of the minesweepers and the leaders of the east and west outpost boats. From January to August 1940 there were leaders of the special units East and West for the submarine hunting flotillas and the mine ships. The mining ships were then grouped together under the leader of the mining ships, while the submarine hunting flotillas were grouped under the leader of the outpost boats. From February 1941, the Commander of the Western Security Forces was responsible for units in the occupied western territories. Security divisions were established in the Channel, in various parts of the Baltic and Mediterranean Seas, and in the Black Sea. From 15.1.1945, all the security forces as well as the Donau Mine Clearance Service inspector, who had been deployed for the Danube above Braila on 16.4.1941, were under the command of the Commander of the Security Forces.
