In the begining when i start my carer (1939-1940) for several times in my patrols i get heavy weather and fog all the time more than a month, the Atlantic Ocean is famous about great storms and hurricanes.
If you get the chance to read the "Great Chronicle of the second Word War" Volume 1 (Reders Digest) under the title "Cem mil leguas Submarinas" (in Portuguese sorry)(in German its from the book from 1959 "The Great Admiral Döenitz traduced from the book: "Zehn Jahre und Zwanzig Tage" publish by Athenäum Verlag, Bona - Germany) its about Carl Döenitz conclusions and thoughts about the The Battle of Atlantic and the "Unterseeboots Flotille" and for is own words say how the weather can condition the U-Boat operations in War and enemy tonnage.
