Left Kiel on Sunday, 18 August 1940, for First War Patrol with U 112 and Ninth War Patrol overall.
Operational orders: Transfer cruise to the new base of the 2nd U.-Flotilla in Lorient. Supplementing of Fuel and Provisions in Bergen. Breakthrough into Atlantic between Faroe Islands and Shetlands. Operational area in front of the Northern Channel, in acc. with B.d.U. orders.
Cmdr: "1 year ago, on 17 August 1939, the first German submarines set sail for the North Atlantic, in this, the greatest conflict of all. One week later, on 24 August 1939, we too, left W'haven, for our first war patrol with U 11. And today, 1 year later, we are setting sail again for the first war patrol but now, with our new IXB boat, U 112."

A lot of neutral shipping and German convoys in the Kattegat. Very good weather and sea conditions.
