U-409
5 september 1942
Docked at Lampedusa to restock fuel, eels and food

In 4 mediterranean patrols I've sunk 4 passenger liners for a total of 170k tons or 1 whole British Army Division bound for North Africa, I just hope I'm not going to have to explain this at my trial after the war

Have also seen a lot of our Italian Allies' ships get bombed to smithereens by RAF Coastal Command planes flying out of Malta, which is annoying because Malta really isn't big enough to store 2 whole wings of Wellington bombers, assorted hurricanes, loads of Catalinas and so many Sunderlands that I'm wondering whether the guys in the atlantic are seeing any planes at all

Oh well, on with the war....I just hope the italians decide to sortie en masse with all those nifty ships, I could use the backup

09 March 1941
On 3rd day out of Lorient saw a Condor at dusk --Wow! A friendly airplane! Shortly after, received report of enemy convoy. 24 Hours later, we attacked shortly after dark. 2 large freighters sunk. Were depth charged for 4 hours. No damage. Huge convoy. Attempted attack before dawn. Bloody Tommies changed course while 8,000 meters from our position. Frustrating! Probably heading for the Med where Rommel has just landed. Will attempt another attack in the evening.

Yeah, that gets irrating. Happened to me last night. U-52 10th Patrol, Sept 1940, out of Lorient, in BF13 (560,000 tons career to date - whats a guy gotta do to get a desk job in this navy?). Except this convoy turned in front of us, stripping the escort from the outer edge of the wheel. Attacked on nightfall sinking 6 merchants for 56,000 tons in two attacks from 3,000m to 5,000m. Going back in again after midnight for a third attack.
Good luck on getting the 1,000,000...

Very nice attack at long range.

Thanks for the good wishes. The gods of war have decreed otherwise.

Sorry to hear that Brag. Oh so close! Good to to see that U123 is safe to sail again

U52's long range attacks have been a work in progress. I used to be an up-close sort of captain. This attack was on a calm, clear night. The enemy would likely spot us anything under 2km, and if I got too close the returning escort would be on the open side of my retreat. Long range shots - two to a ship and I was gone on the surface before the first strike
Get your timing wrong and the first strike starts a zig-zag and the other target gets off lightly

Can't have that :rotfl:

2 september 1939

U-46 Fresh out of Subschool Leutnant z s Hans Brix in command

Decided to do a shakedown cruise in the Ostsee
went to see what was happening in Gdynia and Hel and Danzig

lots of Polish merchants and only 2 active warships, a good first training engagement for the crew. after torpedoing the warships I sank them all with the deckgun!
After that I went through the kattegat and Skagerrak in heavy storm, decided to hang out off Aberdeen and give patrol area AL36 a miss.
Lots of British shipping there, sunk lot off small steamers, a medium cargo, a tugboat and a schooner, by then it got a little hairy what with planes and destroyers and such.
Went a bit further north between Orkneys and Shetlands.
Sunk another 2 ships a tramp steamer and a large merchant

returned home to Kiel on 27 september 39

gave the crew quite a shakedown
