Default U-501 2nd Patrol

Apr 25 1942


To: BDu
From: The Glorious Heinz Buder


Having a not so successful 1st patrol off the US coast, resulting in only 20666 BRT, I gave my crew a much needed long shore leave. My crew is now refreshed and eager for their 2nd patrol.
Having learned that my patrol grid is EJ93, I have plotted a course that will guarantee me a decent tonnage haul, and keep my crew happy. Once I complete this patrol, I plan to resupply/re-fuel at Corrientes and return to base via known convoy routes to further increase my tonnage haul.


Yours

Heinz Buder.
