Diary of Manfred Bollmann, 6th January 1941, U-104, somewhere in the Atlantic.

This morning we attacked the convoy. All went well, we sank two ships immediately, and a Greek merchant with no engines, which was left behind by the convoy. After the escort left us, captain ordered to take external torpedoes inside, three for forward tubes, two for stern. We are now in pursuit of the convoy – it sails at 6 knots. The captain plans to overtake them and set another ambush in the morning.

The crew split up to two parts. Some of them think that we are really doing amazing and we should keep attacking the convoy and do some good for our country. I am with the others – we just want to survive the way home. Anyway, we have to do what the captain says – keep trashing the British.

I just hope that the enemy doesn’t adapt too fast to us. We could be in a world of trouble tomorrow. The BdU doesn’t respond to our contact reports. Nothing. It bothers me.
