7/10/1939 North Greenland Sea, Jan Mayern Island
Schiff 35 arrived at 03:07 she sighted the tanker in the darkness and closed to 1000m, or so she thought in reality she was close to 400m, engine telegraphs rang full astern and her Helmsman put the wheel hard to port, after a strongly worded exchange Hartmann and Kapitän Stein proceed SSW and dropped anchor at 06:00 hrs.
Hartmann’s orders state “remain at Jan Mayern/North Greenland Sea area until further notice”
