Started a new career in SH3 with LSH3-2015 as my last career went corrupt :(
August 9, 1939 Entry Log: 001 Oblt Erich Hante, U-45, type VIIB I have completed my first patrol with my new command. We sailed out of Stralsund to complete a test patrol and sank the two target ships set up in AO83. We returned to base after only having been at sea for two days! We were transferred to the 2nd Flotilla based in Wilhelmshaven. The men at the night club are saying that war is immenient and our training will be put to the test! We await new orders from the FdU Signed, Erich Hante |

Entry Log: 002 Oblt Erich Hante, U-45, type VIIB I have completed my first wartime patrol with outstanding results! Hans Ibbken and FdU were extremely pleased with my performance and awraded me the Iron Cross Second Class! Here is our captains log for that patrol: Patrol 2|U-45, 2nd Flotilla|Left at: August 24, 1939, 01:26|From: Wilhelmshaven|Mission Orders: Patrol grid AM18 September 3, 1939 0528 Ship sunk!|Grid AM 15|T2 Tanker, 8230 GRT/ts September 3, 1939 0530 Ship sunk!|Grid AM 15|Transport, 5600 GRT/ts September 3, 1939 0537 Ship sunk!|Grid AM 15|T2 Tanker, 8231 GRT/ts September 3, 1939 0538 Ship sunk!|Grid AM 15|Fast Passengership, 5835 GRT/ts September 6, 1939 1318 Ship sunk!|Grid AM 87|Small Merchant "Varna", 2279 GRT/ts September 7, 1939 0533 Ship sunk!|Grid AM 87|Merchant Type M22, 5779 GRT/ts September 9, 1939 0904 Ship sunk!|Grid AM 51|Collier, 5933 GRT/ts September 17, 1939 2053 Ship sunk!|Grid AN 14|Pyro Transporter, 7047 GRT/ts September 18, 1939 1646 Ship sunk!|Grid AN 14|Great Lakes Steamer, 1820 GRT/ts September 18, 1939 1650 Ship sunk!|Grid AN 14|Great Lakes Steamer, 1821 GRT/ts Patrol Results Docked on: September 23, 1939 1522 Crew losses: 0|Ships sunk: 10|Aircraft destroyed: 0|Patrol tonage: 52575 GRT/ts On September 1, 1939, FdU ordered us to attack the small convoy consisting of the two tankers and the two transports, we sank them with ease. We then made our way down to the Western Apporchases and sank 3 ships there, we were running low on fuel and we were nearly out of torpedoes so we decided to head back home. On our way back we encountered one last ship which we sunk with our last torpedo. We sent a status report to FdU and they ordered us back to base. We sank our last two merchants at the end of our patrol by using our deck gun. The crew seems to be a little more saltier now, they aren't as nervous and green as they were before! The sailors at the night club are all cheery and drunk as they spew on about how victory will surely be ours. I awarded 6 sailors medals, 2 Iron Cross Second Classes and 4 U-boat War Badges, and I promoted 4 sailors. We await new orders from the FdU Signed, Erich Hante |
October 30, 1939
Entry Log: 003 Kptlt Erich Hante, U-45, type VIIB We have returned from our second patrol, another outstanding patrol that made the BdU extremely pleased with our performance. A sailor was transferred out because he was transferred to another boat, and a new came back in. Here is our captains log from our patrol: Patrol 3|U-45, 2.

The intensity and the tension, I loved it all. The crew that has stayed with me has grown and matured a bit. At the end of this patrol, I was promoted to Kaptäinleutnant and awarded two medals, the Iron Cross First Class and the U-boat War Badge. I awarded nearly 10 medals to my crew, four Iron Cross Second Classes, two Iron Cross First Classes, and 4 U-boat War Badges. We await new orders from the BdU. Signed, Erich Hante |

December 6, 1939
Entry Log: 004 Kptlt Erich Hante We are currently at sea. We departed Wilhelmshaven on the 22nd of November with orders to patrol grid AM98, which we completed a day ago. We are out of torpedoes and heading back to base after sinking around 60,000 tons if I am correct. We sank a T3 Tanker from one convoy and a Troop Transport from another. The crew is happy now, they are glad to be going back home. I will write another entry after we dock at Wilhelmshaven. |

December 26, 1939
Entry Log: 005 Kptlt Erich Hante We have completed our fourth war patrol after having been at sea for over a month. We sank 60,623 GRT for this patrol, earning me the Knights Cross! The rest of my crew was decorated with all sorts of medals for valor and such. The BdU and Flottenchief are talking about retiring me to a training command or flotilla command, no way will I accept that! I thrive on the frontlines, not behind a desk! Morale is extremely high among us. Sailors at the nightclub are talking about how the seas will be ours sooner than later, others curse the detenators on the torpedoes, we had two duds on the T3 tanker we attacked, but luckily the third torpedo detonated and sank her. 1940 is nearing, hopefully we will get a new boat or some sort of upgrade. I wish I don't get a type IX, they are too big and clubersome to be of much use, and they are extremely noisy. I can sense that a promotion will be coming soon, hopefully I don't get retired either! My current decorations are: Iron Cross Second Class Iron Cross First Class Uboat War Badge Knights Cross We await new orders from the BdU. Signed, Erich Hante |
February 22, 1940
Entry Log: 006 Kptlt Erich Hante Another patrol is in the bags. We sunk 33,000 tons this patrol, enough to earn me a Oak Leaf to my Knights Cross. The promotion I am expecting should come at the end of the next patrol we complete. The crew has been decorated with all of the medals for valor that the Naval High Command could offer, including some Knights Crosses! We were attacked by a destroyer escort while we were attempting to inflitrate a convoy, but we fought off the two destroyers attacking, sinking them, and then we sank a tanker and a coastal merchant. Previously, we sank a Large Frieghter in grid BE14, our patrol zone. We are still extremely cheery and expect to have full control of the seas by the end of 1940. We await new orders from the BdU Signed, Erich Hante |

March 9, 1940
Entry Log: 007 Kptlt Erich Hante We recieved a radio message from BdU ordering us to head back to base and prepare to depart for a special mission! Word is that Hitler plans to invade Denmark and Norway, maybe we are being sent to help with the operation? We abandoned our last patrol and made best speed back to Wilhelmshaven, when I docked, I was whisked into Werner Hartmanns office, he explained to me my mission of supporting the landings into Norway! I am excited but also extremely nervous. I need to prepare my crew in the best way possible! A Bootsman, Klemans Eckel, has been transferred out after having been hospitalized after being injured in a traffic accident. We await the departure date Signed, Erich Hante |

May 14, 1940
Entry log: 008 Kptlt Erich Hante, U-80, type VIIC We completed our last patrol and successfully supported the invasion of Norway. We sank 60,000 tons on that last patrol, the biggest and most note-worthy of these was the sinking of the HMS Repulse by our sub. It was confirmed when the British released a newspaper titled "HMS REPULSE SUNK BY SUSCPETED SUBMARINE, GREAT LOSS OF LIFE" The Propaganda Ministry released "U-BOAT SINKS HMS REPULSE", which included my name and my uboat command. For this I recieved the Knights Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords, and the German Cross! I also was given command of a new boat, the type VIIC U-80, I was transferred to the Eprobungsstelle flotilla for a test patrol with the new boat in the Baltic. The rest of the flotilla has claimed a major victory for the fatherland after we defeated Norway and Denmark. France, Belgium, and the Netherlands are next. We are to patrol grid AO82 for our next patrol.

June 1, 1940
Entry Log: 009 Kptlt Erich Hante, U-80, type VIIC We have completed our test patrol. We sank 16,000 tons that patrol, and Hitler personnally awarded me my Knights Cross with Oak Leaves, swords, and diamonds. We transferred back to the 2nd Flotilla after that. Prime Minster Chamberlin resigned a few weeks ago, his replacement was former First Lord of the Admirltary, Winston Churchill. We are also on our way to Paris, victory is near! Signed, Erich Hante |
