Commentary of the BdU to the KTB of "U-353" from 17.10.41 to 3.11.41

1.) The lack of other U-boats hindered an efficient attack on the HG convoy.

2.) The heavy seas made depth keeping difficult while attacking.

3.) Torpedo failures hindered success despite two good approaches to the convoy.

4.) For the first war patrol of the crew and commander in difficult weather the result of two ships for 6300 GRT is adequate.
