April 8, 1940 - u-boat in Vestfjord near Narvik
U-53 patroling near Narvik in the Vestfjord on April 8, 1940. Just as it happened in real life; heavy rain and wind, with poor visibility at dusk, here comes the tanker Jan Wellem followed by three freighters. While submerged, approximately three hours later, ten German destroyers pass overhead on their way to Narvik with the mountain infantry. Am continuing to patrol the entrance to Narvik. Here is where I saved the game, to be continued.
On April 10, if history repeats itself, I should see five British destroyers sailing into Vestfjord to take on the German destroyers. Then, on April 13, nine British destroyers and the battleship Warspite finish off all remaining German destroyers. Should be interesting! Will history repeat itself?
