Kurt Hossel Strikes Again!
Target Practice for U-123

In what is probably the most daring strike of the war yet, U-123 under Oberleutnant zur See Kurt Hossel, attacked the harbor of Reykyavik, Iceland on 3 August 1940. The crowning achievement of this attack was the sinking of Southampton-class light cruiser H.M.S. Sheffield, sunk at anchor without warning. Other ships destroyed include:

1 A/B-class Destroyer
1 C/D-class Destroyer
1 Large Merchant
1 Medium Cargo Ship
1 Small Merchant

For this daring attack, Hossel has been awarded the Diamonds to his Knight's Cross. We of the Oberkommando der Wehrmacht salute Oberleutnant zur See Hossel and the entire crew of U-123, for they are truly Grey Wolves of the Deep!
