Update on Kapitänleutnant Walter Frönlich, now commanding a type VIIC out of Lorient, 2nd Flotilla. Leading ace of aces as of August, 1940 with 215,495 GRT sunk (49 merchants and one destroyer) after 11 war patrols. Holder of the Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves, Swords and Diamonds. I still have yet to have any casualties to men or boat, but things have gotten dicey recently.
The biggest ship I have sunk is a British T3 tanker 19024 GRT.
The lads are enjoying their leave in France, as this patrol was when we transferred from Wilhelmshaven to Lorient. I trust the French women will treat them gently, as they are very tired from our last patrol
