Help in getting my Boat out of the Pens

Yep, of the fourteen boats sent on patrol August 19, 1939 to await the start of hostilities four of them were Type VIIa from the Flotilla Saltzwedel (2nd) based at Wilhelmshaven, five of them were Type IX (they were technically not called 'IXa') from the Flotilla Hundius (also incorporated into the 2nd) and the remaining five were Type VIIb based with the Flotilla Wegener (7th) at Kiel.

I too would love to start one career in a IX right at the beginning of the war.
