After a very successful third patrol sinking 3 merchants and the HMS Nelson, U-45 left Wilhelmshaven with high expectations on 17 November 1939.

Unfortunately bad weather in our assigned patrol area never diminished. Even when we could get a visual on targets through the fog and heavy rain, we scored no hits. We returned to base on 16 December with only the external torpedoes left and no tonnage.

We are looking forward to a fast resupply and heading back out.
