10/17/1939 North Atlantic 78th day at sea
After an unsuccessful voyage through the Barents Sea Hartmann began the trek westwards. During the voyage the ships camouflage was changed to that of an anonymous British freighter.
We will now proceed to the Bermuda area and sink enemy merchant shipping.
For this cruise a 22 page logbook was kept and I’ll analyze it for future improvement. For the foreseeable future I’ll make notes on what will happen on the final war cruise. This test patrol will last for about 300 days.
