Oh, no...

August 1940. Completed my duty in AM68 sector, going home, south through St George's Channel, then English Channel. It was good patrol, 50.000 tons, and still have 2 torpedoes.

Diving for regular sound check. A propeller noise! Sounds big.

Ship spotted! Looks like a large merchant. My officer confirms. Periscope depth!

Weather's rough, no chance to finish her with the gun if one eel doesn't do its job. Preparing both torpedoes, impact detonators, depth 5m, fast.

Her course is 45, speed 9kt. I'm setting the TDC dials, distance will be 500m. I'm off doing something else while my sonarman shouts the bearings.

Right full rudder, course 315, ahead full! Up periscope! Fire one at the middle, two at the stern! Full left rudder! Down periscope... no, wait a minute... what's that? She's flying an American flag! Oh no! What can I do? Surface and try to warn them? Too late, less than 30 seconds...

First impact. A large explosion tore the ship. Looks like she was carrying explosives. Second impact. Unnecessary, she was already done with the first one.

What shall I tell Doenitz?

It'll be hard to get out of, Doenitz doesn't like us hanging around the channel anyways... The best course of action is to blame someone else :P

Have you guys seen the Mr. Hilter sketch from Monty Python? This thread reminds me of it

I think you need a big furry coat, for your next Patrol.
At the Eastern Front. :rotfl:

Kapt Z · 12-28-08, 09:32 PM

Ouch.

I came upon a Large Freighter myself last nite. West of Portugal, Sept '41. It was a dark night and even though I closed to 1000m, on the surface, I still could not make out whether it was British or American. Whoever they were they lucked out. I chose not to fire and let them go.

I had the tubes flooded, outer doors open and my finger on the button....

the part in Peenemünde where they are developing the V-joke, that always cracks me up...
scientist: *reads joke in German*
army officer:

another gestapo officer: we'll let you know *shots scientist*

Start to falsify your Log Book at once and keep radio silence.
Then when you reach base do what WB said deny everything.

Remember BDU is still not happy about the loss of your first boat this might send him over the edge.

meduza · 12-29-08, 09:23 AM

Yes, the things went a bit downhill lately.

It's gonna take some heavy tonnage to regain BdU's confidence.

Scene in Doenitz's office:

Doenitz slowly closes the folder, then locks eyes as you sit in the much shorter chair across the desk from him. "So I am to believe that you had nothing to do with the unfortunate sinking of an American ship?"

"That is correct Sir"

"The problem such a denial raises doesn't need mentioning does it?"

"No Sir"

Doenitz doesn't blink, only continues to stare. Sweat runs down your neck, as he repeats slowly, "Nothing?"

"Bernard did it!"

"Scheisse!"
