Corfu Channel incident

Enver Hoxha, in his memoirs about his first meeting with Joseph Stalin, wrote that the whole affair was concocted by the British as an excuse for military intervention at the town of Saranda.

The fact that the bow section, with dishes intact and stacked shows a rapid sinking, and negates the British claim that the ships, including HMS Volage were not in international waters as claimed so many decades ago.

He reasserted his claim made previously to Associated Press that the wreck was that of the HMS Volage because the electrical wiring of the bow section discovered was of the time period one would expect.

The Director of the Albanian Center for Marine Research, Auron Tare obtained film footage from the The National Archives United Kingdom of the incident showing HMS Volage very close to shore when the incident occurred.
