May 1940

U-52 sent to grid BD and miss Dunkirk /

one man short due to one not returning from leave...failed to start via SHCommander...so no replacement

pickings are slim thus far, tend to patrol this zone for required 24 hours then attempt to shadow the Irish Coast up near Scapa Flow in hopes of picking up prey

[Thomen]

U-847 (Type IXD2), 2. Flotilla out of Lorient, June 1943
Finished patrol of EJ99 and engaged an enemy convoy soon after in grid ES 6255. 2 cargo ships and 1 DE sunk; 1 cargo ship damaged. Boat sustained heavy damage; withdrew for repairs and torpedo reloading further north. Running on course of 278 Deg parallel to the convoy. Expected next engagement in around 18 hours.

Since I don't have a boat, I'm sweeping the floors, dusting and cleaning ashtrays at BDU. When done with these important duties, I send "be more agressive messages to boats on patrol.
