U-25

Im going to write about the patrols and adventures of a fictional submarine, U-25. The real life U-25 is found here-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_submarine_U-25_(1936)

The kaluen of U-25 sat on a small crate looking at his U-boot, moored at Wilhsmhaven habour. The invasion of Poland had begun just a week ago, and the success of Germany was seemingly guaranteed. He had just made a speech to the crew and sent them to ready to board the ship. For the last 2 months they had been training around Wilmshaven, readying their type 2 for action. And now they would begin their first patrol on the 8th of september 1939.

At 15:00 U-25s engines came to life as it left the docks of Wilmshaven, heading out on patrol around the english channel. This would take an estimated 15 days at sea, and U-25 could go for 20 days on it's fuel reserves. After they had patrolled the english channel closest to germany they would return to Wilmshaven for 15 days while everything was checked and they were re-supplied.

We have just reached our area we are to patrol, just inside the english channel. However a firece storm is coming across the land, and we cannot operate in that weather. I fear it will continue throughout tommorow without reprieve.

After fighting the storm for several hours it has pushed and rolled us miles, and now we have spotted land. Our engines are being over-worked in an attempt to continue on our way and we are having atleast a little sucess.
