The great Herbert Schultze was famous for having sent the following message, in English, after sinking the Firby 11 September 1939: "cq - cq- cq - transmit to Mr. Churchill. I have sunk the British steamer "Firby". Posit 59.40 North and 13.50 West. Save the crew, if you please. German submarine." So I'm curious - if you were to send an open radio message to good old Winston, what would it be? Mine would be: cq-cq-cq - transmit to Mr. Churchill. Had tea with HMS Hood and HMS Revenge, Scapa Flow. Argued over who got last crumpet. They lost. Der Graue Wolf U-42 |

cq-cq-cq - transmit to Mr. Churchill. Intercepted convoy bound for your ports BE96, escorts or other ships enguaged in rescue will not be targeted, all others will.
