U-578
Oberleutnant Friedrich Mohr
as in above written posts mentioned we ran into a smaller convoy with 9ships escorted by 4DDs. we were fully supplied by a "Milchkuh" before and decided to lock jaws onto those reinforcements meant for North-Africa as we wanted to help our fellow comrades of the DAK by all means.
we hunted them through 5PGs and never wanted to let loose. these planes will not fight against Rommel:
here's our last victim loaded with tanks which was stopped with our last aft torp and finished off by gun-fire:
all in all we were successful in sinking 6freighters, 1old tanker and a Hunt-class DD. only 3smaller merchs could land their cargo at Casablanca.
the crew's morale got even more boosted by the prospect of returning to Brest around the 18th of December 1942 and thus being able to gather with their families for X-mas eve.
