It was January 1944, off the coast of Africa in a type ix. Came across a large convoy early in the mourning 0500. Sea state was high, winds blowning at 15kts. Sunk 3 ships imditately. Dived down to 70m. Escort came towards my position very fast ,ran right over top of me and kept on going. Back towards the sunken ship site as if to pick up survivors. Escort stayed in that general area, I did not even get a single sonar ping, got away without a scratch, and did a 2nd attack at convoy later on. I thought that in the later years of the war it was more difficult for u-boat captains to survive.
