To BDU
From U-53
02 November 1939.
Despite the bloody awful crew you people have provided me with, thanks to my superior seamanship skills, great leadership ability and superb cunning, the patrol is doing well. Cook has learned how to make Kartofel Pfan Kuchen a la Balz. In between meals we have sunk 1 large tanker, 1 large freighter, 7 small freighters with a total of 40,000 BRT.
While I'm annoying the Royal Navy, it would be nice if you people would get off your duffs and tell Fat Boy to send some airplanes this way, the weather is good for flying and they could tell us where the ships are.
I still have 4 torpedoes left so I will diddle around here for a bit before returning to Willi and gracing you with my delightful company.
