Back in Wilhelmshafen. Generated in all 74.000 tons mostly from convoy in BE32. Had to sink all 3 escort vessels to get working peace. 4 LM's. Missed a large one on the way back through the Channel. F....d up the mission by trying to sneak up on an ASW trawler from behind in the dark to waste him with the deck gun as no torps left. Was detected and lost 6 artillery crew. Went below and got off the hook. Sneaked through the Dover Straits back home.
How does one get back with 6% HI....?

Thats what happens when you try and take on the Royal Navy with just one U-Boat.They were designed to sink commercial shipping,not get blown to bits by attacking warships at every turn
, leave that to the big guns of the Battleships,thats their job
Still...you did well with your tonnage score
