The Soviet Union and the German Reich fought each other on the Eastern Front (1941-1945) during the war. Despite the heavy losses for few victories scored the Germans perceived the campaign as a threat due the dwindling number of transport and prepared stronger anti-submarine defenses for 1943. When Finland joined sides with the Allies in September 1944, the Soviet Navy could successfully avoid the German mine barrages at the entry of Gulf of Finland and quickly resumed submarine operations On the night between 6 and 7 January, Soviet submarine S-4 was lost, likely rammed and sunk by German torpedo boat T-3 in Danzig Bay. Both submarines and surface units of the Soviet Navy were employed. Other operations were launched by Allies, especially by the Royal Navy. It would be the only Soviet submarine loss of this campaign.On 12 January, Soviet submarine K-51 shelled and sunk the neutral Swedish fishing boat On 16 January, Soviet submarine ShCh-307 torpedoed and sunk On 28 January, Soviet submarine K-51 torpedoed and sunk Danish merchant On 4 February, Soviet submarine ShCh-318 torpedoed and sunk German tanker On 23 February, Soviet submarine ShCh-309 torpedoed and sunk German merchant On 17 March, Soviet submarine K-53 torpedoed and sunk German merchant On 10 April, Soviet submarine ShCh-310 torpedoed and sunk the German merchant Ilmenau (1201 GRT) west of Liepāja.On 11 April, Soviet submarine K-56 shelled and sunk the neutral Swedish fishing vessel On 18 March, during a clash between Soviet motor torpedo boats and On 27 March, a subsequent clash between Soviet motor torpedo boats (D-3 class) and On 26 April, German landing craft F-248 was torpedoed by Soviet motor torpedo boats TK-131 and TK-135 or sunk by aircraft.On 6 May, German landing craft PiLB-43/I was torpedoed and sunk by Soviet motor torpedo boat.All the three Soviet minelaying submarines left to the Baltic Sea Fleet were employed for their intended purpose like the previous campaign. The Soviet naval Baltic Sea campaign in 1945 was launched by the Soviet Navy to harass enemy shipping and naval military assets of Nazi Germany on the Eastern Front during World War II. The Soviet Navy launched the Soviet submarine Baltic Sea campaign in 1942 to harass the strategic iron-ore traffic from neutral Sweden to Nazi Germany during World War II. Fuel shortage restricted the number of German escort available for protecting ships and convoy and explain the Soviet success and the loss of a single soviet submarine in action: while the campaign is not evaluated as a decisive victory (13 transports sunk, for 63000 GRT), submarine obtained some notable sinking. The offensive was a repetition of the previous campaign in 1942 but resulted in a failed outcome. For most of the Second World War, the Baltic Sea was a virtual German lake. An important element for the Soviet operation was the small island of Lavansaari, located in the Gulf of Finland and able to accommodate the incoming submarines from Leningrad (under siege) as final step before the attempt to penetrate the Axis minefields.
Old Soviet sources overestimated the victories scored to 51 vessels sunk (400.000 tons)A Soviet repetition of a similar campaign was made for 1943, but Axis forces has been strengthened: the exit from the
