Klaus Korth U-93 - Patrol 2 Begins...

17th November 1940

after a few weeks of R&R the crew reported in for our second patrol. AL69 was the the patrol grid we'd been issued with, I was much happier with this as was a lot of the more experienced members of our crew, and talking of our crew i decided to dismiss and replace for of our basic sailors with little experience with a few more robust sailors. We left port at around 2100 hours and made our way round the northwest coast of France then began heading north west towards AL69 sticking to the convoy route along the way. We also had an early contact report but it was only one of our type IXB subs, going off our last patrol thats just U-93's luck!. Weather doesnt seem too bad for a change. 'Long way to tipperary' beams out of the ships comms system as i write this so i will rejoin the chaps for a sing song before hitting the sack for a few hours. Morale seems much higher so far.. lets hope a few juicy merchants sinking at our hand will keep that up.
