U-27 was lost with all hands in Grid AN 13...

Depth charges took out the diesel engines and emptied my diesel tanks.
8 crewmen dead.
Pumping water sitting on the ocean silt 100m below surface.
Until a charge exploded like a yard away and then pressure just killed us all.

It was a good bunch but they paid the complacency of their Kaleun.
Honorable death, but still, death.

Dead is dead so new carreer.
2nd Flotilla, September 1939 with a VIIB this time.
And this time lets try to finish the war in one piece....
