Patrol 5. The Norwegian Campaign.
AN23, with a jaunt into AN24 (The coastal Bergen grid).

Left Willy on 6.apr.40, and returned on 17.apr.40.
0 ships sunk for 0 GRT.

We shadowed a small merchant out of the fjord above Bergen.
He was on course 285 at 8 knots, and flying Norway's colors.
Started doing an end around, and when he cleared the restricted waters, he turned to course 355. He was bound for Trondheim or Narvik, not Hartlepool so, we let him go.

We encountered no enemy task forces or invasion forces.
We were forced down once by aircraft, but no DCs were dropped.
