Dr. Eichelbaum, as the ship originally was named and is most known under, was originally built as a trawler in Germany in 1938 for the company H. Fochs, but was sold early the year after. Under Second world war it was common to use armed trawlers for war duty, and late in September 1939 Dr. Eichelbaum was requisitioned by the German Kriegsmarine and put to service as a minesweeper under the name M 1108. She was thereafter given simple armaments and some modifications for the soon to come missions that was expected. But M 1108 was never going to do any service for the German Kriegsmarine. 13. April 1940 she disappeared in the deep outside Denmark, and it is unknown what was the cause to this loss of M 1108. It has been claimed that she went on a mine and sank, but also that she was run down by another ship. The wreck rest today on a depth of twenty four to thirty meters in Nordlige Langelandsbælt outside Denmark. Mast, upper part of the bridge and armaments are gone, but the wreck stands on her keel with a slight listing towards starboard and is a typical Donald Duck wreck. The position is exposed to some current, and because of the location a boat is necessary to reach out here...
