Wednesday, 19 March 1941 - Memel - 24th Flotilla (Korvkpt. Hannes Weingärtner)
U 99 (Kretschmer) and U 100 (Schepke) haven't answered to B.d.U.'s position requests, since 17 March.
Today, U 37 (Clausen) sent a report, that it received an open radio message from U 99 on 17 March, 0343h, that the boat has been badly damaged and has to be scuttled (3 dead and 40 survivors).
Apparently, U 100 has been sunk during the same night after being rammed by British destroyers (38 dead and 6 survivors).
"Kretschmer has been taken as prisoner of war, Schepke has been killed and Prien is missing ... Everyone is in a state of shock ..."

Following the loss of 3 Uboat aces during this month, B.d.U. has given me the option to return to active duty. I should think about it over the weekend and report back to him on Monday.
