May 8th, 1945.
We received the order to stand down.
Our last patrol area took us up the Irish sea. U2511 wormed its way up the channel and surrendered at the British city of Liverpool.
Unfortunately we sank 3 ships on our way in, on May 5th, as per our previous orders. Ships that had just been serviced at Liverpool...
We hoisted a black flag on the periscope mast and announced by wireless our intent to surrender. The Captain, as he speaks english pretty well, was able to broker a deal with the British. But not before the first watch officer got to experience the "hospitality" of the dockworkers, one of whom stole his knights' cross. The military police showed up shortly and took the captain and crew into custody, and spared a team of officers to impound the sub.
And so ends the "glorious" career of Kaptänleutnant Johan König...
After 37 patrols, and 5 (ish) years of war, sank:
219 merchantmen (all types)
78 warships (all types)
297 ships = 1.226.913 tons
96 aircraft shot down, including 3, B24s.

I play this game as tribute to all those who went to sea during this conflict and doubly so for all those who never came home...
