How can I change the date when the war ends in the game? This is set to May 8th, AFAIK. I looked at the .cfg files but couldn't find it...
According to some sources, Doenitz issue an order to cease hostilities on May 4th, and according to some others, on May 5th. Some time later he sent his famous "My U-Boat men..." message. Anyone knows the exact date and (at least approximate) time of these messages?

According to uboat.net, there were 3 attacks on Allied ships carried out on May 7, 1945, the last of the war.

ok, ok
On 4th may, 1945 (also, as an example and among many others, Heinz Trompelt, a Torpedo Obermech. Maat and Fähnrich zur See in U-459 and U-172 gives this date) "Meine U-Boot-Männer ! Sechs Jahre U-boot-Krieg liegen hinter uns. Ihr habt gekämpft wie die Löwen. Eine erdrückende Materialübermacht hat uns auf engstem Raum zusammenge- drängt. Von der verbleibenden Basis aus ist eine Fortsetzung unseres Kampfes nicht mehr möglich. U-Boot-Männer! Ungebrochen und makellos legt ihr nach einem Heldenkampf ohnegleichen die Waffen nieder. Wir gedenken in Ehrfurcht unserer gefallenen Kameraden, die ihre Treue zu Führer und Vaterland mit dem Tode besiegelten. Kameraden! Bewahrt Euren U-Boot-Geist, mit dem ihr lange Jahre tapfer und unbeirrt gekämpft habt, auch in Zukunft zum Besten unseres Vaterlandes. Euer Großadmiral\" On 9th may 1945 (it would sustain still the attacks on 7th may carried on at 21.45 hours by U-1023, sinking the norwegian minesweeper HNoMS NYMS-382 ; and later on, at 23.03 and 23.06 hours when U-2336 attacked the convoy EN-591 near May Island in the Firth of Forth and sank two ships, the Avondale Park (2878 tn) and Sneland I (1791 tn.), this one reported as the last U-boat attack during WWII) U-Boot-Männer, nach einem heroischen Kampf ohnegleichen habt ihr die Waffen niedergelegt. Das höchste Opfer müßt ihr jetzt eurem Vaterland bringen, indem ihr bedingungslos folgende Weisungen durcbführt. Zahlreiche Opfer werden da- durch in der Heimat vermieden. Der mit FT 341/314/316/319 auf Küste erteilte Befehl zum Rückmarsch nach Norwegen ist aufgehoben. Euer Großadmiral (These from U-boat.net) ![]() Last edited by Nictalope; 07-24-09 at 01:22 PM. |
