Second patrol of Johann Mohr with the U-124. In cause of some Diesel engines troubles during the first patrol, the U-124 remained docked in Lorient for revisions until August 1941. Hited by some Spitfire balls in the Gibraltar area, the hull needed some reparations too.
For his second patrol, Mohr was assigned to patrol the grid CG87. The radio communications :
