It's been almost nine years since I stepped foot into a U-boat, but with the onset of a global crisis, I gladly volunteered to return to the Kriegsmarine. BdU assigned me to the U-45, a type VIIB boat of the 2nd Flotilla out of Wilhelmshaven. These boats felt very familiar, but some key upgrades made it seem like a new experience. Even the view felt wider, more expansive.

My new crew and I left Wilhelmshaven on 1 August 1939 for a short training cruise. After taking the boat on a jaunt through the English Channel and running practice target solutions on unsuspecting ships, we returned home on 12 August.
