"So what do you think is in it?" Christian whispered.

Reuben had the boat up for a quick breath of fresh air and to get our signals off; while the usual gang of seniors were around the Ward Room table staring at this satchel. The only one missing is Oscar, who's not strictly operational, but we often value his wisdom. He's looking after Gerhardt and as a result hasn't slept for many hours.

Bruno and myself had compiled and sent a full report to BdU, about the whole disastrous episode. It didn't make sense. Did they want to capture a U-boat intact? Was it some sort of counter intelligence bluff, was Frederick a double agent or just coerced into luring us in? A moot point since Bruno nailed him into the sand, and the boys are now calling him Wyatt Earp, which he pretends to be annoyed about. In any case the U-46 luger is oiled to perfection and back in my locker.

It's a certainty in my mind that what's in that briefcase is a fake. Or a double fake? Maybe something to do with North Africa, or Malta, or Italy? I don't know, I have enough on my mind second guessing the destroyer captains without all this sleuthing.

PO Weiss thusts the curtain aside. "Urgent message, BdU, Sir"

I lurched back through, and took the long message from Viktor's outstretched hand.
