Kapitänleutnant Horst Luddecke was killed on his 9th patrol today (12Jul1940) while attacking a convoy in grid BE98. All hands aboard U-101 were lost.

Somehow i've missed a V&W escort coming at me from behind. I took heavy damage to the conning tower as soon as we collided & the following depth charges must have landed right on top of me. In my dying seconds i saw the V&W had also taken heavy damage but i suffered heavy flooding in almost all compartments & it was over before i could blink my eyes again. At least i did manage to hurt the convoy in two previous attacks on it.

I've just returned to SHIII after a few years and have been working my way up again from a Type II & did my last 3 patrols in a Type VII. I suppose i shouldn't be too unhappy with my first career but still....
