October 1943
Far East
U-200 is still in one piece.
We have completed one patrol in the Arabian Sea and the Golf of Aden with very good results.
There were many tanker convoys , medium escorted. The escorts were not very enthousiastic in finding us.
Our current position is the Timorsee in deep waters. We have a very nice patrol so far with a large troop ship and a ceramic type ocean liner sunk.
There is heavy traffic , a lot of convoys and again the escorts seem to be surprised by our presence. In three convoy attacks , we have been DCed only once with minor damages.
I will post the patrol results soon.

The last patrol reminded me what Happy times in the Atlantic used to be!
