2/22/1939 La Spezia Harbor, Kriegsmarine Pier A 21st day at sea

Since the last report things aboard Schiff 35 have gone from good to disaster. On the morning of the 21st a severe fire damaged on of her electrical panels and severely wounded 2 ratings. The firefighters swiftly brought the fire under control. The L.I. Korvkpt(Dipl-ing) Miller began sifting through the damaged panel to find the cause . The doctor Ob.Mar.Arzt Dr. Jensen treated them with what means he had aboard but informed the Kommandant that they would need to be landed soon. Hartmann radioed the Seekriegslietung to informed them on the situation and during this time Port Diesel No.4 failed. Hartmann got a quick response and was ordered to put into La Spezia Harbor and dock at Pier “A”. Schiff 35 arrived at the port early in the morning and both men were immediately disembarked. Schiff 35 cannot continue her war patrol and will have to make the return voyage to Bremen. In the meantime, a full investigation is underway as well as the onboard investigation one will be conducted by the Seekriegslietung, engineering department, and shipyard department.
