I had awarded one of my officers an iron cross 2nd class on the last patrole. Ive just got back from a realy sucessful patrole sinking 6 ships, (my tonnage is higher than Gunther Prien at this stag in the war, Nov 1939).
I thought "Im bound to get an iron cross 2nd class this time" to add to my front clasp and war badge.
I get back to Wilhelmshaven to find one of my crew is awarded the iron cross.
Im feeling a bit left out as now 2 of my officers have more medals than me.
Boo Hoo.
Can someone write to Uncle Karl for me?
