It could be

"H. S. Flotte" - Hafen Schutz Flottille

"K. Küste "- Kanal Küste

The "Hauptbibliothek der Marinestation der Nordsee" , Wilhelmshaven, during the war the books

have been evacuated to the Schaumburg a Castle near Dietz / Lahn and after the end of WW2

became part of the University Library Mainz.

Thanks Gerdan, It seems this one ended up in the Kriegsmarine HQ on Jersey, which was the Royal Yacht Hotel, only to be liberated by Petty officer A. Felwick,
on the 12th May 1945.

Exactly it has been lent out to (Ausgeliehen an: ) Jersey and they forgot to give it back in time...

I hope I've not inherited the late return fine's that are outstanding on this book.
But it makes the books history interesting.
Many thanks.

Now the Universitätsbibliothek Mainz is the actual owner of the books of the

former "Hauptbibliothek der Marinestation Nordsee". They are authorized to ask for a reminder

fee for each book which is given back too late. It's a fee of 2 € per week after the official ending

of the loan period. The rental costs shall be deducted depending on the rental time (as provided

in the price list). Make out a calculation. How many weeks from May 1945 - April 2018 ?

Thanks for your help, I now owe the Universitätsbibliothek Mainz approximately €7,584.
I wonder if I could sell the book on E stand, that might cover the fine.
