10/15/1939, Spitzbergen 106thday at sea.

Proceeding SSW at 19 knots Schiff 35 struck an iceberg north of Spitzbergen the damage was patched up and lasted for several hours before water again began leaking, this time into the holds and fuel tanks with no chance of making it back to Germany Hartmann took Schiff 35 into “Ice Fjord”. Kybfels arrived the following night and the crew and secret material taken aboard. at 00:00 Schiff 35 was scuttled with her own mines and torpedoes in 106 days she sank the British freighter Mulberry 4,868 grt. The Kybfels arrived at Wilhelmshaven after 113 days at sea.
Schiff 35 will sail again this time ill ditch all the Arctic whaling fleets and the first mining operations and instead move directly into the Atlantic.
