14 May 1941. Patrol 6 complete. Outside Freetown we found a good number of ships worthy of our torpedoes and sank over 90,000 tons. A good patrol? Perhaps. I, however, am saddened by the loss of three of my seamen, stalwart sailors who had been with me from the beginning. While fleeing an approaching airplane, a lucky bomb hit us, killing all three of my flak team instantly. After crash diving, fixing the flooding, returning to the surface, finding the stricken cargo ship, and sending it to the bottom with our deck gun, we set course for Lorient with all due haste.

I was awarded the Knight's Cross with Leaves, but I cannot sleep. I am haunted by the final scream of the dying men. War is hell, but I am back out on patrol.
