U-47, 2nd Flot., 30.11.39
Hi all.
After a two year silent run I'm back at sea with Hubert Henke on his 4th patrol. Playing LSH III 2015. Ill health has given me some time on my hands for a little while, and I couldn't think of a better way to spend it. I've lost my copy of the U-Boat Commander's Handbook, but I found an online version for the moment. I also bought U-Boat Tactics In World War II. And any day I'm expecting Iron Coffins, which I'll read in a recovery period. Good luck. Gavin.

Arrived at Germania Werft, Kiel-Gaarden, on Tuesday, 23 July 1940. During the time in the shipyard, the crew was given two weeks of leave in two shifts, with one week overlapping. A Boatswain's mate 2cl and a Fireman 3cl, were transferred to other U-Boat's. They were replaced by a Boatswain's mate 1cl and a Fireman 2cl, for their first post-training deployment.

Fantastic to see my post doing so well after all this time.
I'll be sure to add to this over the coming days after quite a lengthy stay on land. I really need to get away from this virus mania and the churning sea is the only place to find my solace... Paul.

A few hours out of Wilhelmshaven on 9.3.40 I've been ordered to return to base.
Apparently I've to undertake a 'special task' from 2.4.40  I've not experienced this before, I'm a little anxious

My patrol grid was AN46 and I was there very early so I took out some merchants, and I left myself the 4 bow tubes loaded for my 'special task'. On 2.4.40 I got a message saying when Wesrubung starts I've to 'make full use of my weapons' in Norwegian waters and to be in my starting position. Ok........what's my starting position? AN46 isn't very near Norway. Should I stay in my patrol grid, or mover closer to Norway? I'm confused
