Default U-48

I started a new career and finished a few patrols in the IIA, then I got the command of U-48 VIIB.

Was this the most successful boat during the war, and the one they called the red devil boat? I can see on uboat.net that it had 51 ships sunk and commanded by 6-7 kaleuns, many of them got the knights cross.

Looks like it's a heck of a boat I got this time, I better survive this career

U-48... The black cat boat. Don't let Schultz, Rösing, and Bleichrodt down!

Good Luck!

Can't honestly say which boat was the most successful...however, the two most successful kaleuns were Kretschmer and Luth but neither of them ever commanded U-48 :hmm:
