U-331, VIIC
1.Flottille, Kiel

Statusbericht 4.4.1941

1720 BC79 cloudy, medium visibility, wind 10 m/s. Resupplying from Belchen supply ship succeeded. An 8000 BRT Erzfracher sunk 2101 hours 30.3.1941. Night time surface shot at a range of 800 meters. AZ, depth 3 meters, AOB 90. A gyro angle of 25 degrees had to be used as the course of the ship was badly misestimated. In spite of this all three G7e's launched detonated with no problems, sinking the ship in minutes. The ship was armed with a stern 75 mm gun. At night time it was not possible to tell if there were other guns on board. Continuing patrol with nine G7e's and one G7a inside, one G7a in external storage.
