U-540 Running the Gauntlet....

[Karl-Heinz Jaeger]

Before GW, I was a huge fan of RuB and IuB and I have to admit I was a big cissy for saving and reloading all the time. My career was just entering 1941 and I had over 600,000 tonnes to my credit-boooooring.

Since then a little gem of a supermod known as Grey wolves has shown me the light, and having become quite proficient setting up and firing my eels manually I have decided to start a new mid-war career. so, fellow subsimmers may I present to you, Leutnant zur See Heinrich Leffler and the crew of U-540, from the 10th Flotilla, Lorient. Just back from their first patrol with seven pennants flapping in the sea air and 40,000+ tonnes to their credit. 1943 is a bad year for the U-bootwaffe, but with boats like U-540 roaming the Atlantic, the Allies will have their hands full.

This is my first real dead is dead, no reloading career, and starting off mid '43 I have a feeling it's going to be very difficult to stay alive. Wish me luck!
