F.d.U./B.d.U.'S War Log

1 - 15 January 1940

U 32 reports that she cannot carry out her minelaying operation off the Clyde. She has observed fixed listening stations and encountered strong patrols. She has not apparently succeeded in penetrating into the inner firth.
She also reports traffic observed close inshore south of Ailsa Craig Island, at water depths at which mines could be laid. She suggested making this alternative position and has been given orders to carry out the operation there.
Until I hear the Commanding Officer's verbal report I shall not be satisfied that the first operation was really impossible
