Sunday, 14 December - 2nd U.-Flotilla (Korvkpt. Heinz Fischer, 08.41 - 01.43) - Lorient -
Taking on of Provisions, Ammunitions and Torpedoes:
Taking on of torpedoes:
- Tubes I-VI: G7e, K-b
- Bow above floor plates: 2 x G7e, K-b
- Bow under floor plates: 2x G7e, K-b & 2 x G7a, K-a
- Aft under floor plate: 2 x G7a, K-a
- Upper deck containers: 8 x G7a, K-a
All with fuse Pi-G7H (only AZ / Pi-1 without MZ)
Holding Op.-Briefings with B.d.U.:
B.d.U. observations are as follows:
a) Commitment of 6 boats in area from Sydney to Charleston.
b) Commitment of the next 4 boats type IXc to Trinidad and Aruba.
c) For experience further commitment of type IXb boats in area 4a, type IXc in area IVb.
d) Experience will be gained for later operations. As long as the ratio is extant, the east coast of America is to be considered the most successful area for large boats.
e) Use of torpedo mines not contemplated since success will result only from large numbers.
f) Use of VIIc boats in the area South of Newfoundland where we can expect greatest traffic and least defense of enemy ships.

Started new career in August 2019 to commemorate the beginning of WWII, 80 years before ...
Monday, 15 December - 2nd U.-Flotilla (Korvkpt. Heinz Fischer, 08.41 - 01.43) - Lorient -
- Final Repairs and Adjustments. Basin Trials.
- Taking on of fresh food provisions and potable water.
Received Intel.Briefing:
- Dangerous Mine-Situation outside the Naval Bases in France! Boats must stay on the ordered transit and approach paths and follow escorts in and out of the Western Naval Bases!
- The U.S.A. has armed its merchant fleet!
- The enemy might have knowledge of our uboat dispositions. This might be achieved by:
1. Disclosure/Treason (not likely, because group of naval staff involved is small).
2. Deciphering of our radio messages (is considered out of the question).
3. A combination of radio traffic and reports of sightings (cannot be confirmed or denied).
4. Location (DeTe = radar) and consequent deviation (to date, no evidence of this).
Pre-War Patrol Preparations completed.
Kptlt.&Cmdr.
