Hi all Kaleuns,
sorry 4 my bad English, but this is my 1st post over here, usually I post to a Italian

SHIII forum.

This is the matter:
I was in my 8th patrol in the middle of the summer in 1940 leading my VIIB Uboot.

The BdU assigned me to patrol the AN79 grid!?! Is this normal?
I usually don't discuss the order, but this order is like a suicide.

So... when I was in the proximity of the AN79 grid, I got a mine or a net or both of them

and I had one guy death and severe damage all over (both the periscope, the radio and the

sonar etc.).

I came back to willelmhaven and after a month I've started 4 a new patrol (grid DH79).

Several miles out of Spain coast I intercepted a convoy; I had 6 torpedos left, 2 of them

reached a medium tanker; 4 torpedoes missed, the tanker didn't sink.

Run out of torpedoes, I decided to resupply at the Bessel in Vigo.

After the resupply (restarting SHIII commander ver. 2.6) I got the follow message.

"lieutenant SR mau---- to report immediately to kiel for reassignement to training duties".
and "relinquish command of U21 to your exec".

Then SHIII commander informed me "if you are getting 'itchy feet' sitting behind a desk,

you can return to active duty and continue your career"

So... what do I have to do?
I accept to spend time (1 month? 2 months?) training myself again, I hope I won't lose my

grade and I agree to restart from Kiel with a IIA as well.

Pls suggest me the right way to come back in the opration area.

Best Wishes.

mau----
