Well I found somebody at home at Scapa Flow
April 25 40
U-47 had been sailing on surface in a stormy sea's for about two days
thunder and lighting was on surface at south entrance of scapa I had
been taking soundings on depth and was about 11 meters
had not seen any ships for days Was in morning overcast I had
a feeling I should turn around and get out of there about that time
bridge watch said we were under attack "sir' Look up and here comes
a DD flank speed with guns blazing
11 meters water not much place
to hide try to get to P-dept and in postion to fire a torp but could get a the angle and he ram me setting on bottom. So that was the end of U-47
on Patrol 7 out Kiel I think there mit have been a Aux Cruiser parked
there best I could tell should have been there 19400401 to 19400601
saw that info on another post.
