Why bless 'em...all the way to Davy Jones in flaming balls of flame. Never seen the Bay of Biscay so crawling with aircraft...October 1943 and much too good weather. Really much too good.

"Radar detected" , dive maybe crash dive...run a few hours submerged surface run a bit "oxygen 100%" "battery 100%" ..."radar detected" allaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrm!!!! run a few hours submerged "oxygen 100%" "battery 100%" ..."radar detected" allaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrm!!!!
run a few hours submerged surface "oxygen 100%" "battery 100%" ..."radar detected" dive....

run all night submerged surface "oxygen 75%" ..."radar detected" allaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrm!!!! run a few hours submerged surface "oxygen 100%" "battery 75%" ..."radar detected" dive. run a few hours submerged surface "oxygen 100%" "battery 100%" ...run a few hours submerged "oxygen 100%" "battery 100%" ..."radar detected" allaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrm!!!! allaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrm!!!!

Next night surface near midnight..."radar detected" dive (actually really close)...chance external view...Mosquito diving...Skipper's "instinct" says crash dive rudder hard a port "We're taking damage Kaleun" then an hour or so repairing flooding and damamge...waiting til morning to fix the damaged radar detector, both periscopes, and the radar...not to mention the flak guns.

So I never got to DH42 but turned back with more of the same....verdammit RAF
