Entry Log #2256
Skipper Wolfgang Ulrich, U-198 type IXD2

The allies are closing in on us. From the east and the west. The Allies invaded Europe nearly 2 months ago, dooming the French ports on the Atlantic. I have no doubt that BdU will disband the 2. flotille and assign us someplace else. Meanwhile our lossess are mounting. Friends of mine are dying quicker. I am one of the very few experinced skippers left in the war. Our last patrol we attacked a convoy, sinking three ships for 15,000 tons. In return, we sustained heavy damage in a depth charge and hedgehog attack. The only reason we survived is because I picked off the attacking escorts with TIV homing torpedoes. To ensure the safety of my crew and myself, I will not attack large and escorted convoys.
It feels as if the allies have a bounty on my head. After all, I have sunk 124,932,7 tons of enemy shipping. They attack my boat with noticably more fercoity then the rest of the Uboat force.

I feel as if the end is drawing near. We depart on our next patrol tomorrow.

Signed,

KpLt Wolfgang Ulrich
