12 May 1943: U-536, Type IXC/40, 10th Flotilla. 9th day on patrol, intercepted large convoy between Madeira and the Azores. Clear and calm weather.

First attack, sank a 8000-ton Erzfrachter & damaged 2 other ships using our new FaT torpedoes. Black Swan counterattacked with Hedgehog & wabos, but lost contact and gave up.

Forward tubes reloaded. Now surfaced and overtaking convoy for second attack run before dawn.
