Just "for the record":
What date?


July 1941

And, what type boat?

VIIB

Now, for my curiosity:
Which way in, and which way out, for you?


I came in from the north and am exiting south. I'm still not out of the woods yet, but I had to save and exit to go to dinner last night.

I have sunk three ships in AM68 - small merchant, tramp steamer, and an empire. The weather is miserable, and visibility is nil, so all of my contacts are via hydrophone. I plot their heading then lie in wait. They have to get within 500 meters just to see them. There are sound contacts to warships constantly around but at this point of the war, they're not so good at finding me.

Good luck. It's a rough one.

Thanks. I'm not going back in there.
