Uboat No Time Compression Log

7 March, 1942
DF-1269

Today marked half-way day on the journey to Aruba. I ordered the distribution of a half-bottle of beer each for the crew.

34 days at full ration remain, with enough fuel for the return journey should no resupply be possible. The bread has just started to mold. Comforting to know that something will grow here.

The men remain receptive to drills, and dive time has decreased from over one minute to 35 seconds.

Minor emergency onboard at 30 metres during hydrophone check when Oberstabsgefreiter Conrad Otto, assigned to U-564 by special favor to some relation in the brass, after introducing compressed air to the waste reservoir, opened the upstream valve, reintroducing the waste to him. Gilbert Chesterton wroe, "The greenhorn is the ultimate victor in everything; it is he that gets the most out of life." The chief has been assigned daily training with the men to ensure their knowledge of common systems is second to none.

No contacts on this leg of journey. Lili Marleen is in everyone's heads.
