Kaptain Schlag · 06-18-11, 02:39 PM

After a several week layoff, U-46 and Kaptain Schlag are back patrolling the Atlantic.

Patrol 10

Ordered to patrol grid DH77

Mid Feb. 1940- On station in and around DH77

Bdu sends contact report for large convoy several grids to the west.

Ahead flank ordered and intercept made. As this was the first convoy contact U-46 was able to engage in this war. excitment was high.

Seas were mildly rough, but skies were overcast and foggy and manual visual contact was made with convoy while submerged. Bow torpedo tubes were expended. It was then realized that no warship contacts were heard. Surface the boat, man the deck gun, we have an unescorted LARGE CONVOY!!!

All torpedoes and deck gun shells were then expended.

50 000 tonnes of enemy shipping, primarily British were sunk.

Return to Wilhelmshaven
