27th September 1939

Wilhelmshaven quayside witnessed a small crowd today, gathered to welcome home the jubilant crew of U-30. As she pulled alongside she bore the scars of battle, her crew, nonetheless, unscathed.

On Leutnant Alfred Hoffmanns first tour of duty, he has shown himself to be a determined officer, and as such, well respected by the crew. People across the Fatherland, and especially in the corridors of power in Berlin, will be delighted to know that Herr Hoffmann and his professional crew accounted for seven allied ships, amounting to a total of 28,818 tonnes.

The crew, understandably in need of rest and recuperation, were proud to talk about their exploits. "The Leutnant worked us hard, but we are honoured to serve Germany. We are happy that we contributed to the effort as a whole", said one weary sailor.

Leutnant Hoffmann himself had praise for his crew. "Although it was my first voyage, the crew and the boat moulded perfectly to create an efficient weapon". On a personal note, Herr Hoffmann added "I would like to take this opportunity to thank my colleagues who, during meetings in the 'nightclub' have shared with me invaluable advice".

As the Leutnant departed the quayside, he bemoaned the lack of more significant targets, but hoped to redress that issue on his next voyage. Nevertheless, I'm sure 28,818 tonnes of merchant shipping from a relative novice will be appreciated by all those involved in the war effort.

I'm sure it won't be long before we hear more about this young man. He is eager to make an impact, both for his country, and for the uboat fleet as a whole. I'm sure our readers wish him well for the future struggle.

28th October 1939

The news sweeping the nation, indeed the world, tonight is the sinking of two ships, which were sailing under flags of neutrality, of the Bay of Biscay. Britains Foreign Office described it as a despicable act of aggression by Germany. Our Fuehrer, though, insisted that once the details have became clear, it will be shown that uncharted wrecks, or rocks, will have been responsible and is demanding an apology from Herr Churchill.

Locally, here in Wilhelmshaven, all the talk on the incident centres around the leaked information that U-30, of the city based 2nd Flotilla, was responsible. Just last month Leutnant Hoffmann and his crew bathed in the admiration showered on them by locals when they returned from a successful patrol. Now, it seems, they've possibly undone all that hard work.

It has also came to light that a lad from the dock area of our city could be on the crew of U-30. Rumours abound that 23 year old Bernard joined the boat before it departed three days ago. In attempting to confirm this, several of the community were approached. One shopkeeper said "It would be no surprise to me if Bernard is responsible for this. I have known him all his life, and let me tell you, he is no stranger to calamity."

So it seems we'll have to wait a little longer until all the details are confirmed and exposed. Until then let us back our brave submariners with all our faith.

Leutnant Hoffmann accumulated tonnage/patrols 28,818/1
