It´s 02:01. Skies are clear. Stars glow above us and the moon is watching as we travel
through the dark waters.

I stand in the tower and scan the black horizon. I can just barely see dark figure
following us. It´s the U-76, commanded by Hans Zugier. Following him, is the U-54,
which is commanded by Gerhard Göbel. Göbel is one of the oldest kaleuns in Kiel,
with age of 37.

I ask my navigator to calculate our distance to Kiel.

- 130KM, Herr Kaleun!, comes the answer.

Orders was to get atleast 100KM from Kiel before opening the envelope containing
our assigned patrol grid. I sit down to my bunk and open the cabin, the envelope drops
straight to my hands. I rip it open and take the piece of paper out.

I ask Karl to my corner.

- Take this to Horst. Make him calculate the shortest way around. Lower our speed to
ahead standard.
- Okay, Kurt, Karl replied.
- Karl, how do you address a person that is above you in ranks?, I asked with a slight
smile on my face.
- Ja Ja, Herr Kaleun., Karl said and vanished to the control room.

I decided to take a short nap.
