To BDU Staff--Urgent
03 July 1941
To all BDU Staff officers Lorient.
Aaalaaaaarm!
Balz is expected in port tomorrow.
Urgent business requires my immediate departure for Berlin.
When U-53 arrives, present the blighter with a bottle Vieuve Clicot as appreciation and gratitude from the German Volk.
Inform him he's getting command of U-502 with all the extras he wants. Assure Balz the acustics in U-502 are excellent, the sub was built to suit his choir. Also impress on him he cannot sail the boat to New York and have a gig in Broadway.
As far as torpedoes go, let Balz know that the torpedoes not only go boom-boom but they kaboom in a most dramatic manner.
Good luck to all. Please let me know when U-502 leaves so I can be on hand to wave good bye to our hero.
