1941 off the coast of France, BE 96 I believe,Attacked a small convoy in a VII, managed to get two hits on a large cargo, and a single eel in two mediums, the large went down with ease, one of the mediums' back broke, and the other just crippled and taking on water. The cans were PISSED and on the attack. I dove under the convoy like I normally do, to surface on the other side and send an aft-tube-salute, however, this time the cans got wise and got there before I surfaced. they started to DC the hell out of the area. I started dammage controll, but things looked grim. the sonar man reported destroyer on an attack run, I though I was done, and the 50k of earlyer earned merchant shipping (a pretty good patrol so far) would all be for naught (save often beeing one lesson learned from this). Then, I hear an explosion, much louder than DC's, and much more spaced appart and sparatic than DC's, as well as the cans changing corse rapidly. I go to the external view, and lowe and behold the Flyboys came berraling in, a flight of 2 Stukas and 2 BF-109s. the had one can listing, and one on fire. Needless to say I was out of there, all ahead flank and run for it. This is one lucky Kaleun. Needless to say the Captian and Crew of U-47 told BdU to extend their deepest thanks to the Luftwaffe.
