After three patrols with misable targets (I even machine gunned a sloop!), I was leaving Wilhelmshaven in a IXB on my 12th patrol when Hipper and an escort destroyer came in.
Being a miserable so n so, I turned and gave Hipper a salvo of 4!.
I know! She's on our side but . . . .19000 tons!
Any way three hits - she sank, I slunk back into harbour, destroyed the evidence (deleted the patrol) and went on another patrol like a hero!
so far, got 8 for 36,000 tons and 3 planes..... can I ever be forgiven?
