January, 25, 1941.

Oberleutnant Erich Kartmann awarded top honors for the invasion of Portsmouth harbour where he and his intrepid crew of U48 sank 40,000 tons, including 2 warships (one on patrol, one tied up).

Next mission saw the U48 in the AM52 grid, where she came across a small convoy, and finished off the torpedo payload to sink 2 tankers and a 6000 ton cargo ship. Came away with 54,000 tons in total, but the U48 suffered heavy damage which convinced me to retire the ship to the training command.
Oblt Kartmann has been assigned a new base and fleet, and is now in command of the IXb, U110.

Had about 2 months off over the winter, and back to sea on January 25, for interdiction patrol of ocean grid AL38.

So far we are 12 hours out of Lorient, en route to our patrol billet.
The hunt continues...
