You're right.
It is a very good painting.
And you got a new sig out of it.
Happy days

My mistake then I misread what was written. I know there is no love lost between the Kriegsmarine and the Luftwaffe but I am glad to see that we are not causing their demise.

At that stage of the war, you took a big chance using your deck gun.
Especialy in the bay, with a very vulnerable IXC.
This time it just didn't pan out well for you, or your crew.
Dissapointment yes. Surprise no.

Another negative about using your deck gun is that you are definately DETECTED, which has long term effects on your relationship with aircraft.

So heavily patrolled from the air and on the surface that U-boats were forced to transit it inward and outward bound...submerged.
