15 March 1940:
Scharnhorst departs Wilhelmshaven for another raiding mission off the coast of Britain.

Results:
Returned to port 19 March 1940 having sunk 27 ships for a total of 55,794 tons. Harrassed by the verdammt Elcos and MTBs again, but managed to persevere. Also managed to intercept and slaughter TWO coastal convoys. The CO and crew of Scharnhorst want to thank Herr Churchill for being nice enough to include a Small Tanker in the first convoy and a Large Tanker in the second convoy for us to practice our gunnery on.

As promised on last patrol, handed more awards and promotions out to the flak gun crews upon return home.

1 Large Tanker
2 Medium Cargo Ships
1 Small Tanker
3 Passenger/Cargo Ships
3 Small Freighters
3 Tramp Steamers
4 Coastal Freighters
2 Black Swan-class Frigates
4 ASW Trawlers
1 Elco-type Torpedo Boat
3 Motor Torpedo Boats
