June 7th, 1943. EJ69.
17:40 Received a convoy report from BdU, coming right at me. Course 180, speed 6kt. Taking a position for attack. A few tankers, medium cargoes, ore carriers and several small merchants. Protected by 6 escorts.

20:22 firing 2 torpedoes at Ore carrier. Distance 3.8km. Destroyer closing from port.
20:24 firing 2 torpedoes at Medium cargo. Diving. Speed 1kt.
20:26 4 explosions, almost all at the same time.

20:41 Medium cargo going down

. Escorts are looking for us at the wrong place. We escape undetected.
Ore carrier continues to sail with unchanged speed, apparently undamaged after 2 torpedo hits.

22:25 Surfacing in order to make another attack. Wish me luck.
