U-52 17 Nov. 1939
We finished stalking and sinking a medium modern tanker in rain and fog when a convoy was reported 145 kms SSW of us, heading NW at 4 kts.

Capt. Balz placed his finger on the chart, north of the convoy. "We will intercept here."
"But--"
"They are not going to stay on that heading after daybreak."
By noon, the weather had cleared, we were on the plotted intercept spot and dove for sound check.
"I hear a ship breaking up and two destroyers," Balz said. Half hour later we lost all sound contact.
Balz ordered surface and we spent the rest of the afteroon going east, then west, then northeast. Nothing, we lost the convoy. Balz insisted on staying on a headin of 015.
At 2152, a lookout sighted a Black Swan matching our heading 3,000 meters away. We found the convoy. I sked Balz, how did he figure out the convoy heading and position.
"It's with analytical hoochie woochie," he answered.

I hate those technical terms. I never quite understand what they mean.

Man that crew must have a "d'oh" kind of feeling when they heard who there commander would be for that patrol.
