U-123 Returned today to a triumphal reception at the dock. The U-Boat under the command of Kapitanleutnant Bucher after a brilliant patrol in the central Atlantic has sunk a total of 1,016,575 tonnes of enemy shipping.
What can I say? BIG party tonight--Champagne, cognac, cigars, caviar, and herring salad, of course!
The crew of the U-123 humbly accepts congratulations and adulation
