I'm really bad at posting links. Maybe someone else can post one. The site I go to is maritime dot org. They list the subs by name, or by number for the S boats, and the links on their page take you to microfiche copies of the patrol reports. The reports are hosted by Scribd so you might be able to find them there as well. I do a Google search for "WW2 submarine patrol reports" and maritime comes up at the top of the page but there are other sites who also post some patrol reports.
Be careful when you go to these sites. The reports are very interesting and you might find yourself reading them for hours!!! I certainly have. One of the first things I've learned from reading these reports is that almost every patrol had some sort of equipment malfunction that had to be repaired at sea. Those who carry the wrench must have been as important as the torpedo team on the subs.
