Alot of peapole don't relise how pervasive the uboat threat was . But my father was in the Canadain Intelagace corp. And he told me a story of him escorting a caputered Uboat commander back to a canadian prision camp. He was appartantly plying the St.Lawrance seaway looking for jucy targets. And he was capured when he and some of his senior officers were trying to buy fresh fruit and vegetabels on the gaspbay peninsula.Hey were very cooperative with my father and told him the only reason they where caputured was they used out of date script to purce the food and someone twig to that and there thick german accent. But they all spoke perfect english almost too perfect.

Once again, ED 98 came up BIG time for me. Curaco was far less busy than Trinidad, and I waited for several days without seeing any convoys (or any real action) there.

Got my first GWX 100k patrol in my first career with my XXI in the Caribean. late 1944, In the gap between Cuba, Jamaica and Haiti. A convoy of 8 tankers escorted by only 2 DDs. Half of the tankers are Panamanian, and UNARMED. Boy I missed my deck gun. Too bad I only have 9 torps left after dispatching the DDs. But with my previous kills during this patrol, My merchant total comes to 103K.

And I could have end the campaign without a scratch. Unfortunatedly in my excited haste my boat got too close to a sinking tanker and damage my hull. End the patrol with HI at 74%. Ever since 1943, I havn't had so much fun hunting.

Good hunting to all.
