January 28, 1940 Kiel
1537 U48 is now leaving Kiel dock for a new mission, our orders are to patrol area BF44...we will sail through the Channel, there will be plenty targets there...and warships too. Weather is overcast but not so windy. That helps because it's already cold enough as it is. On the way out we will run some drills and check that everything on the boat is working as it should, hopefully we will find only minor issues. On we go!
