U-53 Patrol #2
From 24.AUG.39 to 16.SEP.39

Encountered few ships in heavy storm in the early days of war. Unable to attack due to weather. Tracked a cargo east from England, two torpedos missed.

Finally in 15.Sep, after 13 days without a luck, sunk a merchant, with the deckgun, worth of 4704 tons. Then we headed home, Wilhelmshaven, as the diesel was about to run out.

Deck and flak gun slightly damaged due to an aircraft.

Overall, crew spirits are down as well as myself. Two and a half week at sea and one ship sunk. Can't be happy about that.
