10 February 1940
At sea in Balzing Mathilda
Herr Sunvalleyslim,
On me? On me? Drinks on me? Aaaarrrgghh. I just broke 100K BRT for this (2nd )patrol. Do you think I'm going to head to Willi and the old Balzhoff with the stingy uncle? Not likely, I have 3 torpedoes left and a bunch of deck ammunition.
Spain! That's where I'm heading. Will sink a few Tommies on the approaches to Gibraltar then put into Cadiz to eat fried sardines and drink good wine.
Once those Wermacht layabouts decide to move their duffs from the Siegfried Line and liberate France we can dicuss party arrangements.
Meanwhile, I'm giving Tommy Balz of fire.
and composing a song titled: Meet me in Balzimore, you sweet Hoochie Woochie.
Oblt. Johan Sebastian Balz.
