April 1944, U-525, 7th Flotilla.

Currently in BE39, heavily damaged from destroyer and aircraft attacks. Starboard electric motor destroyed, hull condition doesn't allow diving below 100m.
Aborting the voyage to designated grid (AN41) and will continue to patrol SW approaches until my fuel and torpedo reserves allow it, or until some further damage forces me to return to base.

Despite heavy defense by sea and air units, I sank 4 ships (25,000 tons).

In my previous patrols I sank 1,670,000 tons of Allied shipping.

U-525 out.
