radio message quandry

Keelbuster · 01-24-09, 03:34 PM

I'm playing GWX 3.0 and I received this message:

"
17:50 Radio Message
From: BdU
To: U-140

Willenbtock
1941/11/06
Officer only: Refuel in Vigo and proceed to La Spezia for transfer to 29. Flotilla.
"

This is a bit silly, but am I being ordered to Spezia? My uboat is in fact U-140, but my captain's name is Conrad, not Willenbtock. If I'm not being ordered to Spezia, why was this sent to me?

Historical message
Just happens you have the same U number

Altho 140 was a IID and never had Willenbtock as a commander

Oh ok - so if I make the Gibraltar crossing, and actually make it to Spezia, I'm going to have to come right back through...

That order was actually the basis for the movie Das Boot
