My lucky day

Well there i was on my attack run through a British convoy, sank 3 C2 cargo's before i attracted the attention of the escorts. As they were bearing down on my position i thought maybe i should dive deeper than periscope depth. I then remembered people saying dont change depth while they are searching for you so i stayed at periscope depth. Well a cat and mouse game started with me doing 1kt and trying to creep away, no luck as i had been detected. I was busy hanging on as my boat was being D/C by two escorts when suddenly it stoped. I went to external veiw to see the Luftwaffe had come to my aid and started attacking the escorts. I thought this was my lucky day, But i think ill buy a lottery ticket when i get back to port as when i looked at my boat underwater this is what i saw.

MINES

I was so lucky i didnt dive deeper.
