Early January, 1940
Radio report, U-48
Type VIIB
Had just arrived at AM53...
Ship sank... about 6...
Fuel... not a problem...
Crew fatigue... a problem...
Weather... Cloud cover... light, presipitation none, fog... light...
Ammunition... sadly only 3 eels left (there were a few, no a lot of duds and torps bouncing of the keel)
Mainly no problem but the crew endurence...
Hope to get back to Kiel in one piece...
