Just returned from parol no. 9. I recieved the Iron Cross 1st Class. This was a interresting patrol, mid 1940, where several mistakes were made. U24 got depth charged but all damages were repaired, hull 96%.
We encountered a large convoy and sunk one merchant and one war ship.
Later in the patrol completely missed a tanker with my last torpedo.
No point in chasing him, he was going to fast.
In SH3 Commander rewarded my Watch Officer with the Iron Cross.
Regards, Marcel
