		By the time the ground battle actually commenced on 7 June, this force comprised a German flotilla of six MTBs and a few light patrol vessels (based in Ak Mechet) and an Italian flotilla of four MTBs, six midget submarines and four armed motor boats (based in Yalta).
		Occasional 'ethnic' tensions between Italians and Germans arose during the Battle of Sevastopol, yet Wild and his naval counterparts all worked energetically, and as equals, to ease those tensions and to maximise the effectiveness of their relatively weak forces.
		At both Kerch and Sevastopol, German forces achieved victories over better-prepared and numerically superior forces enjoying significant geographical advantages, and did so because they managed, to a large extent, to put away their traditional service rivalries and work together to get 'the job' done.
