Have just returned from a very successful patrol in U-83 off the Eastern coast of England, in a mere 8 days at sea we managed to sink 8 merchant ships and 1 fishing boat totaling 28,109 GRT. Will take on provisions, fuel, and torpedos and allow crew a short stint to rest and write to families and girlfriends, and then we shall return to sea by early December at the latest.
