You might want to hug the North African coast a little more? And time your run to avoid the more predictable patrol routines?

It's a lively and tiny stretch of water, to which we are not invited!

Good luck, Kapitan, and Happy Landings on the other side!

U-124 is my favorite U-Boat. Hence my username... :know: (AG are my initials). 124 is actually my "lucky number" now, even though I don't believe in stuff like that. :rotfl:

A good book on U-124 is Grey Wolf, Grey Sea by E. B. Gasaway (it also has an introduction by Admiral Doenitz). It has recently been reissued. :) Here is a Amazon.ca link (top) and an Amazon.com link (bottom):

Holy [censored]!

:o

We're still a bit shaken up. We approached under cover of night and heavy fog, carefully using combinations of surfacing and batteries. Ran smack into what must have been a convergence of inbound and outbound convoys and an absolute Destroyer fest. Took out two C3's, turned around and got the heck out.

I could not believe the traffic there.
