I just commissioned U-874, my second IXD2 boat. I leave Bordeaux in the 12th Flotilla with 56 men. I've been at sea for 17 days and I am west of Africa, preparing for attacks on convoys bound to and from Gibraltar. I prepare to head south to my patrol grid west of Capetown. On the way, I met a convoy with liberty ships and troop transports, but the convoy was heading too fast and I could not reach it, unfortunately. So what is my punishment? I, in a IXD2, receive a message from BdU.
