Well, I made it through that bleepen channel again...I don't know how, but I did.
I made it a priority to stay away from all traffic. however, between the numerous british PT boats flashing around at 26kts and more DD's in just the channel area then the the whole German Navy even has, and the whole sky alive with aircraft...Then you have the mines all along the shoreline.
Nope! Nodda!...I ain't doin that gig again ...I may be dumb, but I ain't stuped.
Man, that is time consuming & a lot of work besides. The only thing that you could even accomplish, would be to just stay alive....

One German boat left Calais after I did & I see his little blue sunk boat show up on the chart. He didn't get more then 10km from Calais before he was a statistic.

I was only half way through the Kiel canel when I get this message that informs me that my new base is Brest. Now I have to go all the way around Scapa Flow, Ireland route again.
I think all military minds from any country must have the same morons at the top. They made me come back to Kiel just to turn me around and send me back from where I just came from....

I shuda stayed in the Army...
