Leutnant z. S. Paul Fischer - Patrol 1 - U-99 - March 8th 1942

Just arrived back in Lorient on my first command and with a very fresh crew. Left at March 3rd for the US East coast but hit upon a large convoy just outside Biscaya after BdU information. Too fat to let go. Was lucky with the positioning and the struggle developed into two stages. First, we were able to decimate the escorts and a couple of merchants.....

Then, after a long period of loading down reserve topedoes, we renewed the attack. Unfortunately the weather turned sour so we couldn't use the DG to finish off a couple damaged ones.

Not bad for a totally fresh crew and returned with 100% HI. Looking forward to next patrol with an even better trained crew. Even sunk an enemy submarine!
