Hello Out there!

I just made yesterday the experience that the drive a big zig zag .....
August 1940 10th day on sea with my new carier on a VII C in BF 36 around the middel of the plotted "tanker alley" I command a listen dive.
As Hinrich announces more and mor contacts!
It´s chrismas time!
Go as close as posible to 90° to the contacts and listen!
After 10 minutes listening I think their course is around 270° with around 7 - 8 knts!
Ok Surface! Interception course full ahead!
We schould get the prey in an hour!
U-95 lay down and wait!
Schleichtfahrt as the DD cames in reach and the convoy is a big one!
I count throu the peri 2-3 big tankers, 2 whalships, the rodney and a lot of medium merchants! 6500 meters away, 7knts fast!
To shorten this ... in the moment I try to came closer to the prey and aim at them the change heading from 90° to 170° realtiv to me .... fu**!!
Ok we wait til the change back!
But it didn´t!!!
It still let me lay on the position and disapered!!
Holy shi*!

In diesem Sinne
Gott mit Uns
