St John's Canada

22:00
Two men , looking tired and soaking wet rang the bell of a lonely house facing the ocean
A man opened the door and froze.....
"Herr Admiral ... " Gunther Spaz said.
"Quick get inside" one of the men replied

Inside the house
It was clear that Konteradmiral vonHarris and Matrose Hans Gruber had escaped from their Canadian POW and they were trying to get back to Germany.

Gunter took a piece of paper and wrote a coded telegram for the Bdu, which he sent the next day to a Mr Laufen

On January 25 ,1941 BdU issued the following top secret orders for the commander of U-345

Report status and ETA asap[/QUOT

Due to enemy air coverage had to dive frequently to avoid contact. Due to fuel consumption had to reduce from flank speed. Using special precautions due to our two visitors. Had to administer large amount of medical brandy to Senior visitor in regard to his recent experience and loss. ETA 16.3 hrs.

U-345 clear and silent.
