U-45 set sail 1 September 1939 from Wilhelmshaven in peacetime. But very soon we got word that war had begun.

We sunk two merchants for over 12000 tonnes which increased our confidence, but we were soon humbled after being caught by three trawlers in 80m water. We escaped, but not before taking significant damage.

We returned to base on 13 September for repairs.
