10.7.1937 Aegean Sea 678th. day at sea
The military and political situation has continued to worsen, In the east the Marco Polo Bridge Incident has unleashed yet another war, the Second Sino-Japanese War. After 2 weeks of waiting the Skl. gives Schiff 30 permission to enter Black Sea. Due to the Montreux Convention which came into effect on 9.Nov.1936. the Skl. was trying to justify the entry of the raider into the strait they came up with a task for the merchant raider. Schiff 30 will be disguised as a German merchant ship with the task of gathering information on Spanish and Soviet merchant ships sailing for Spanish Republican ports.
Schiff 30 is forbidden from sinking ships in the Black Sea.
Schiff 30 will follow the shipping lanes up and down keeping well outside Soviet territorial waters. Kapitan zur See Hartmann intends to remain in the Black Sea for 3 weeks before returning to the Mediterranean Sea to sink more Spanish Republican merchant shipping.
Hartmann plans to enter the Black Sea no later than the 15th. of July.
