U-64

Oberleutnant z.S. Eicken

Fourth patrol. Approaching Wilhelmshaben after a month of storms and fog, we return in clear, calm weather. One large cargo sunk off Trondheim, one large cargo and two escorts sunk in a large convoy NNW of Lowestoft, position called in and returned to base after wasting a lot of torpedoes to weather, duds, 400m visibility and extremely shallow water. Sonarmann Günther claims at least one torpedo must have hit the seafloor - like the V destroyer did a bit earlier.

Our first destroyer kill. Worth a measure of smuggled whisky, that.
