You dnrc. It's the 7th Flotilla at Königsberg. And you get 2500 renown rather than the usual.

@ oppolo: The purpose of starting in August is to recreate the actual history. On August 19 fourteen u-boats were sent to the Atlantic to be ready for "something". They weren't told what, but when the war actually started they were already in place. One thing you can do is just select a September start date.

The "24 hour" thing is a holdover from the way they were originally planning to have the campaign work. You get extra renown for going to your assigned grid and staying there twenty-four hours, but in GWX you don't. You are free to go anywhere you want.

@ washishu: The SH2 mission was set in September, not August. You had to sink at least two of the three Polish destroyers, or repeat the "mission" until you did. Also you weren't forbidden to attack any other ships. There were no other ships to attack. The so-called "campaign" in SH2 was nothing more than a bunch of single missions strung together. That's why SH2 was the worst of all Silent Hunter games.
