My very own Kriegstagebuch!

OltzS Dobenecker · 01-26-17, 03:43 PM

I formatted and designed my very own K.T.B. based upon the formats found throughout the internet.
I based its content (6 pages in total) off of a 12 hour patrol in the bay of Danzig.

The patrol was so brief because of a big mistake in an engagement with a destroyer, long story short, torpedoed the destroyer,
thought it was sunk (OHII and realistic sinking...) surfaced, got shot with FlaK, crash dived, flooded in the bow with fore
ballast control disabled, tried to go to periscope depth, flooding was sinking my ship, was nearly doomed to flood and plunge
to the depths, forced to go back emergency, blow all ballasts, surfaced stern first. At this point it would have been an "abandon ship"
order.. if only I could do so.) Speaking of, if there's a mod for it.. let me know

Unfortunately, my German is not that grand, so google translate helped me out a lot.

I am pretty proud of my creation. My internal history nerd came out and made it...
I based my format on a KTB such as this-

Now if only I had a cover for it...
