бой танка (танков) с миноносцем? (+новый и-мэйл)

день добрый

вот что нашел по этому вопросу Н.Геройский (на ВИФ-1)

Сразу бы сказали что он немец, а то я подумал, что поляк или наш. Нашел я вам рассказ про этот бой, но на аглицком и без ссылки. Надеюсь поверите, что не сам придумал:

Panzer vs. Destroyer

On May 22, 1940, the 2nd Panzer Division was ordered to advance and seal off the port of Boulogne, France on the English Channel. Other Panzer divisions were sent to the ports of Calais and Dunkirk. The invasion of France was not to end for almost another month.
On the 23rd of May, Panzer Regiment 3 of the 2nd Panzer Division was in Boulogne. It was the end of a successful day. All the coastal fortifications had been taken. The Panzer crews were preparing supper and relaxing. English destroyers were patrolling up and down the English Channel. Unseen by the Panzer crews one of the destroyers was on a course straight for the Boulogne harbor. The commander of the fourth company, Oberleutant von Jaworski saw this in his binoculars and called out: "Alarm! The destroyer wants to land troops! Two heavy tanks prepare for combat." (These are the Mark IV tanks equipped with the short 75 mm cannon.) The drivers started their engines and the tanks were made combat ready. The company commander jumped onto one of the tanks and they took off.
Both tanks race onto the street. Their treads spray sparks on the stone pavement. When the street becomes covered with rubble the tanks turn and ignoring trees and fences go cross country. The tanks advance until they can see the harbor docks about 70 meters away. The company commander sounds out "One oclock, range 500 meters, destroyer!" and immediately comes the reply of the gunner: "Target recognized" -- the first shell leaves the barrel -- 50 meters too long. Using his binoculars the tank commander sees troops standing on the deck preparing to land. The gunner corrects the range, the second shell leaves the barrel -- a direct hit on the foreship in front of the bridge. A split second later another hit five meters higher. Parts of the ship begin to whirl through the air. The remains of the foredeck are obscured by smoke.
The range adjusting is finished. The loader works quickly and shell after shell leaves the barrel. The force of the incoming shells drives all which are not swept from the deck to seek cover. The destroyer increases its speed to escape the observation of the tanks. This change of position interrupts the fire of the tanks only momentarily. Only now does the ships crew try to defend themselves -- from the aft, broadside after broadside is fired. The smoke grows and occasionally conceals the whole ship. From the opposite height of the harbor enemy anti-aircraft guns begin to fire. About 10 muzzle flashes are recognizable. The location of the tanks is announced presumably by radio to the other destroyers and they cover the tanks with a hail of high-explosive and shrapnel shells. All the hatches are closed. The company commander jumps off the tank and seeks cover -- the earth trembles and shakes. Howling and clattering the shell splinters smash against the armor plating, but the crew is not stunned. Smoke from the tanks shells begins to cloud the gunners and commanders sights. Every time a shell is ejected the loader is hit in the face by a glowing flame. The air becomes thick and caustic. The driver and radio operator assist the loader so that there is no interruption in the rapid fire. The continued fire fight forces the destroyer to locate to the outer harbor. Some hours later the destroyer sinks. After the sinking, one of the crews drew a destroyer on the tank commanders cupola. The number on the ship in this drawing is 523, which coincidentally is the also the date of the sinking (although in German it would be written 235).
Boulogne surrendered two days later. From May 23 to May 29, Panzer Regiment 3 captured over 25,000 prisoners (12,000 French, 2,500 English, 10,700 Belgian, and 600 Dutch).

Crewmen of one of the tanks:
Oberfeldwebel Langhammer, tank commander;
Palmreuther, gunner;
Ivantschitz, loader;
Denscheilmann, driver;
Sichelstiel, radio operator;

None of these men received the Knights Cross for this action.
Oberleutant von Jaworski died before the invasion of France ended. He was one of only three officers from Panzer Regiment 3 to die during the invasion of France. Reportedly, some of the other crew members are still alive today.

непонятно зачем обер из танка выпрыгнул.
и получается не он миноносца завалил.
