U-19.
Sixth War Patrol.
I had decided to do just one more patrol in the North Sea before upgrading to a bigger boat.
That's not gonna happen now.

I must have hit a mine, or collided with another ship, east of Heligoland.

As you can see, it killed 5 men and wrecked the whole front of the boat.

The repair team worked strenuously, but there was no way they were ever going to keep ahead of that amount of flooding.

So it's goodbye to Oberleutnant Vasili Zaitsev and the men of the U-19.

Career highlights include a 'Golden Patrol'

and surviving a night surface attack on a Southampton Class Cruiser
