The Type IX mystique...

I decided to see what all this fuss about the Type IX is all about, so I dutifully applied for a transfer to the 2nd Flotilla in Lorient. I didn't have *QUITE* enough renown for a IXB, so I had to make two more patrols in my trusty VIIB (this is late 1940/early 1941).

So, finally I had enough renown, and got myself a IXB. While I was out on my first patrol, my wife came in the room, and said "You're always on that computer. Who do you think you are?"

So I said "I'm Hardegen".

She said "I've got a headache", and left...
