Fourth war patrol U-201

U-201 narrowly survives two counter attacks by the convoy escorts and is retreating with a bloody nose. Commander Witt pushed his luck too far and is lucky to escape.
Attacking the convoy a second time, shortly after the first attack, with just one tube available was a questionable decision. The escorts must still have been on high alert
after the first attack and U-201 approached the convoy too soon and too close. U-201 is moving away from the convoy and is proceeding to her patrol area while
assessing the extent of the damage sustained.
