U-19. Type IID.
Fifth War Patrol.
So I get ordered to AN41. All my patrols so far have been further south, between the Firth of Forth and the Humber.
There I have been seeing mostly coastal and small freighters, with the occasional medium or large thrown in.
But oh man, I've discovered on this patrol there's heavy tonnage to be had a bit further north.
The first one I sank was heading South West towards Inverness. So I trawled back and forth along what I assumed was the shipping lane.
Ten days of this led to the following
They were all pretty big! And I managed 'One Torpedo - One Ship'. Hit all of them in the forward cargo hold.
The Empire Freighter went down in about 10 minutes. The rest took about 30-40.
I have never had a patrol this lucrative in a Type II.
I'm well on track to being able to afford a bigger boat in time for the first transfers to France.
Any Canoe Kaleuns on this forum?
My advice - head north
