Phew, that was close (BF13, Oct 23, 1939, Type VIIB boat), two Hurricane fighter bombers dropping their load on our boat to revenge the C-2 cargo torpedoed and sunk 3 minutes earlier (...
one single bomb each of whatever size, were loud Bangers though, killing a lot of fish right behind us (40-50m), but not causing any damage to the boat...).
I guess it was lucky that we were just going back to course, the boat making 15kn towards home ... Bootsmann Adolf Conrad bagged one with the 2cm Flak...I think he'll be among the first to be promoted and awarded back in Kiel...
