12th of april 1940
Das Oberkommando der Kriegsmarine gibt bekannt:

Today in the early morning hours at 3:00 local time the world saw another victory of the Kriegsmarine.
100miles NW of Trondheim, U-49 scored repeated torepdo hits on HMS Warspite. At least one hit must have damaged the ammunition stores and exploded the british battleship immediately.

The fireball was observed by german infantry forces from the coast of norway.

U-49 evade multiple counterattacks by british destroyer groups and reported in this evening undamaged and the whole crew healthy and of good morale.

As british forces still keep up their senseless fight and have not yet surrendered, U-49 will continue it's war patrol to defend our supply lines into Narvik.
