U48 finished out the patrol in grid BF24, near lands end. All remaining torpedoes expended to sink medium merchant, for 6000 tons.
U48 return to base by May 11, 1940 with 20,000 tons of mostly Norwegian shipping as victims.
New patrol to grid AM32 starts June 8, 1940, which means there's a good chance we will finish our patrol in France.
Current position is AN28, on course 340 degrees, fully loaded and ready to go. Skies and seas stormy and progress is slow.
Nothing further to report.
