Who else is holding up the honour of the U-Boats?

Nov 16, -40. Vigo.
U-55, VIIb, 7´th Flot.

Docked at Bessel with heavy damage to the boat.
Helmuth, our WO is dead.
Some 50% of the batteries are destroyed. The pressure hull leaks at pd.
Etc.

Stumbled across an already zig zagging convoy in CG71 at 2300. Some 25 ships, only one escort was heard. Due to poor visibility we attacked surfaced only to find many of the ships to be armed

Well, we sunk 2 ships and then slipped away in the darkness with heavy damage.
This boat is a write of, we will get a new type VIIc at return to St Naz.
That will be boat nr three:hmm:

Wolff, U-55.

Now I am in command of U-123. With all the torpedoes on board, Brittain does not stand a chance from the onslaught of the greatest Kaleun in the service of the Vaterland

. You should soon hear of great tonnage and sinkings.

U-48
Late in the evening of April 8, 1940.

Engines off, on the surface with decks awash in Vestfjord, near Narvik. Convoy of fast German merchant ships, followed by German destroyer task force has sailed by.

Currently awaiting any British reaction. In perfect position to intercept any attempt by the British to reach Narvik, if they dare to try.

PATROL REPORT

Novorossiysk 20JAN43 1354hrs
U-9, Unterseeboot Type IID
Commander Oberleutnant zur See Marc Sturmowski, 30th / 33rd Flotilla, Costanza

Called into port at Novorossiysk having used up all my torpedoes during a short but eventful patrol. Sunk two Russian troopships for a total patrol result of 15664 tons. The Russian ASW forces do put up a show, but are nevertheless quite ineffective.

The Russians have seemingly set up a westward shipping lane running some 30NM south of the northern Black Sea coast between Novorossiysk and Tuapse. The route is predominantly used by small troop transport and freight convoys, with some unescorted small craft (coastal tankers, trawlers etc.) occasionally appearing as well. The convoys are, however, always escorted by 2 or 3 Storozhevoy or Novik class destroyers, and 1 or 2 Uragan torpedo vessels.

I intend, BDU orders allowing and God willing, to exploit this finding further on my next patrol.

Signed,

Marc Sturmowski
Oberleutnant z. S.
