Do as Balz does:
To BDU:
From U-53
05 November 1939
U-53 returning to base, one torpedo left. 110,000 BRT sunk. You may also inform my dear Fuhrer that I sank a Nelson in his honour with only one torpedo.
While the mighty and poweful British battleship settled into the eternal depths, we stood at attention and sang: Sinking for Hitler and Germaneeee . . .
I suggest you rustle up a few medals you may find lying about and bring them over to the dock for our triumphal arrival in Wilhelmshaffen.
Some of my colleagues have been complaining about the food. Maybe you should remind them of Marie Antoinette's famous words. (Do I get a medal for snitching?)
