Patrol
The war has begun. Since we are at war with her allies, Russia and France, the United Kingdom has also declared war. In the west, our armies have invaded Belgium and France, and are involved in severe battles. In the east, Russian armies have invaded East Prussia. Our forces are bravely defending this area and will surely drive back our enemies.
Our enemy is the British home fleet, which will try to blockade our harbors and bombard our bases. Your mission is to inflict as many casualties as possible on the enemy’s fleet as you make your way to the German coast. Proceed to the patrol area and wait until the enemy is sighted. Godspeed!

Patrol
Our ground forces are proceeding quickly in France and Belgium. A French attack on Alsace has been successfully repelled. Only a few reports have come in from the East, but the pace of the Russian offensive seems to have slowed.
No British warships have yet been sighted or attacked. The enemy seems to be preparing a blockade of our coastline, but he will surely attack at some point. Proceed to your patrol area, and prepare to face the enemy. Godspeed!

Patrol
The war is about to end. Our troops are approaching Paris. We need only to break through Allied lines at the Marne for victory to be ours. In the East, the enemy’s forces have been heavily defeated at Tannenberg. Although there are still hostile troops in our empire, we can drive Russia back with a united offensive, since England and France are defeated.
Several submarines remain missing after our first operations. We cannot claim any successes yet. We must prove the efficiency of our submarines before the war ends. Go to the patrol area and find and sink hostile ships. Good hunting!

Supporting Land Units
We have achieved a glorious victory at the Masuric Sea. A full Russian army has been annihilated, and Hindenburg is being celebrated as a hero. In the West, our advance at the Marne has been temporarily stopped. Our armies are now trying to move around enemy positions, in the direction of the North Sea coast.
The Army Command has requested our support. Since our troops at the coast are under fire from Allied warships, their advance is greatly hindered. Your orders are to sink or drive away these hostile ships at any cost, and afterward to continue patrol and secure the area. Godspeed!

Securing the Coast
Our army advances quickly toward the Northeast, but our troops at the coast have ceased to advance. Enemy destroyers are disrupting our supply lines from the coast and preventing the success of our plans. The Army Command has again requested our support.
Your orders are to drive away all hostile ships from the coast or – even better – to sink them! Afterward continue to patrol the area to prevent any further intrusion of enemy warships. Good Hunting!

New Submarine Type
Your continuing successes have earned you the chance to try one of our newest submarines. These new subs have diesel engines and a significant greater range than other submarines. Furthermore, it has an 8.8 cm deck gun that can sink freighters, without your having to waste any torpedoes.
Check your new submarine’s serviceability as you patrol the target area for the time ordered. You are to sink all worthwhile targets and bring your ship back undamaged. Godspeed!

Patrol
Great Britain has declared the North Sea an operational zone, which means all ships are inspected, and any may be captured or sunk if military goods are detected onboard. On one hand, the number of ships in our harbors has decreased significantly; on the other hand, any British ship that dares to sail on the open sea faces grave danger.
Your order is to go to the target area and hunt down all hostile warships. Good hunting!

Patrol
The British fleet hasn’t yet left its base in Scotland. But our secret service points out that they might try to move smaller fleets to the Baltic Sea in order to reinforce the Russian fleet and perhaps support landing operations there, behind our front.
Your order is to patrol the entry to the Denmark Strait in order to prevent, at all costs, any breakthrough by the hostile fleet. Secure your patrol area and sink as much tonnage as you can. Good hunting!

Dogger Banks
One of our cruiser squadrons has been annihilated near the Falklands, although not before inflicting fleet heavy damage on the enemy fleet. Our fleet will concentrate on operations in the North Sea.
Part of our fleet will leave harbor over the next few days in order to clear smaller squadrons from the North Sea. Your mission is to reconnoiter, to clear the course for our fleet, and to sink any hostile ships that you encounter on your return. Report all hostile units, so that our fleet will not be ambushed.

Orkney Islands
Our ships encountered hostile squadrons in superior numbers at the Dogger Banks. Although we lost the battle cruiser “Blücher,” we caused heavy damage to the enemy’s forces. We need an immediate act of reprisal.
Due to incomplete reconnaissance we don’t know where the British heavy warships might be. To forestall their making a surprise attack on us, you are to scout the British home fleet’s war harbors on the Orkney Islands. Report the strength of their forces, and if there is a chance to attack them, do so. Go to the assigned patrol area afterward, in order to intercept hostile ships. Good hunting!

Economic Warfare
Several French offensives in Champagne have been repelled during the last weeks. Our government has declared the seas around Great Britain to be a war zone and begun economic warfare against the shipping trade. This means that you are now allowed to attack and sink all trade ships – even neutral ones – without warning.
Finally we can be more effective! Go to the target area and sink as much enemy tonnage as possible. Good hunting!

Economic Warfare
The economic warfare is showing its first results. The number of sinkings has increased significantly, and German hopes now lie on our submarines. In the east, we have beaten the Russians again, and the hostile troops occupying East Prussia have been driven out.
We no longer need to face the risks of surfacing when attacking trade ships: we are now able to attack while remaining submerged. Sink as much tonnage as you can in the patrol area. Good hunting!

Shetland Islands
On the west front, static warfare continues, but our troops have begun a huge offensive at Ypres. We expect to break through enemy’s lines quickly and head toward Paris.
The successes of our submarines, especially in sinking enemy battleships, have unsettled the Brits. According to our intelligence reports, the British home fleet has withdrawn to its main base in the Shetland Islands. Your order is to patrol the Shetlands and destroy ingoing and outgoing warships. Good hunting!

Economic Warfare
After the sinking of the “Lusitania” by one of our submarines, the United States has intervened, demanding an end to economic warfare attacks by our submarines. But we will not bow down, since the British government has started arming trading ships in defiance of the Hague Convention! The armed ships will make our task much more difficult. There are also rumors of submarine traps, where ships with heavy artillery open fire on submarines at close range.
You are to prevent ships from moving through your target area and to sink as many targets as possible. Good Hunting!

Unexplained Losses
In a short period of time we have lost three submarines near the British coast. Our intelligence services have no clues as to how this has happened. As this is one of the main operational zones for our submarines, it is absolutely necessary that we find out whether the British navy has developed a new weapon against our subs.
Your orders are to go to the target area and reconnoiter, in an effort to find the reason for our unexplained losses. You must be extremely cautious. If you find any worthwhile targets, sink them. Godspeed!

Economic Warfare
Reports by our intelligence services indicate that economic warfare could bring the British Empire to its knees. Supply to the British population seems to be at a critical point. Since the enemy’s supply lines in the west have not yet been broken, the greatest hope rests on our submarines.
Go to the target area and sink as much tonnage as possible. Good Hunting!

Economic Warfare
On the eastern front, our troops have taken Warsaw, and victory seems ever nearer. Once victory in the East is ours, we will move troops from the east to the west in order to complete our triumph. We will simultaneously continue economic warfare, with greater forces attacking the enemy.
On the west coast of Ireland, they remain unprepared for attack. While the distance to travel is great, the results will be worth the effort by far. Your orders are to go to the target area and sink as much tonnage as possible. (You had bettered take the safer way – the northern route around Scotland.) Good hunting!

Transfer to the Mediterranean Sea
Italy has declared war on us, while Bulgaria has entered the war on our side. After the sinking of the passenger ship “Arabic,” our government has bent to the pressure of the United States and cancelled the submarine economic warfare campaign. As our submarines in the North Sea are now of no further use there, we will transfer as many of them as possible to other war zones. This is your last mission in the First Submarine Fleet. Directly following this mission, you will be transferred to the base at Cattaro.
Your orders are to sink as much tonnage as possible in the patrol area. Godspeed!

Patrol
Welcome to the Mediterranean Submarine Fleet! Our offensive in Serbia was successful, and we have conquered Belgrade. Italian attacks in the Alps have been repelled, as well. However, since April 1915, when Allied troops landed at Gallipoli, near Constantinople, there has been heavy fighting with our allies, the Turks. We must disrupt the flow of supplies to the enemy.
Proceed to the target area, where you will wait for a convoy that is currently preparing to leave Malta. Find and destroy this convoy! Beware of mines and destroyer patrols when leaving the Adriatic Sea. Godspeed!

Squadron
All of our bases in China and the Pacific have been conquered, and most of our armed merchant cruisers in the Far East have been destroyed. Thus the British will be able to withdraw their command ships from this area and move them into the North Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. The route of these ships will be through the Suez Canal. Before they continue on their way through the Mediterranean, most of them will bunker oil and provisions on Cypress, south of Larnaca. We shouldn’t miss this chance to attack!
Your orders are to find the location where British warships are assembling and attack them. You must sink the tanker and, in addition, as much tonnage as possible. Good hunting!

Gallipoli
In conquering Serbia, we have opened a land route for the movement of supplies from Germany to the Ottoman Empire. We can now efficiently deliver troops and materiél to our allies. The Brits, having realized that the bridgehead on Gallipoli – which they have held for more than a year – is no longer defensible, have begun their retreat by sea.
Your orders are to harass the retreating forces as effectively as possible and destroy as much tonnage as you can in the target area. Good hunting!

Convoy
Lately, Allied oil supplies have seemed to be reduced. As a result, the British government has formed an armed convoy to bring technical supplies and equipment to the Arabian oil fields. They hope to increase output drastically, in order to satisfy ever-increasing demand. We have heard from reliable sources that this convoy will leave England, pass Gibraltar, and travel through the Suez Canal into the Mediterranean. We have already placed several submarines in strategic positions.
Proceed to the assigned target area, find the convoy, and sink it! Good hunting!

Suez Canal
The British withdrawal from Gallipoli has weakened their position in the eastern Mediterranean. Our task now is to further strengthen our position. We will do this by attacking supply ships coming through the Suez Canal to the Mediterranean, forcing the Allies to receive their supplies from Australia, India, and Arabia via the much longer route around Africa. This will delay the landing of Allied troops in France, and perhaps even prevent a summer offensive against the west front.

Battleships
Two Austrian cruisers succeeded in breaking the Allied blockade of the Adriatic Sea, and have now entered the Mediterranean. The British Admiralty is assembling ships south of Malta in an attempt to eliminate this threat. Their squadron will patrol between Sicily and North Africa in order to block our ships from routes to the west.
Your orders are to find the ships in the target area, attacking and sinking the battleships, so that our cruisers can enter the Mediterranean to attack Allied supply lines. Godspeed!

Final Mission in the Mediterranean
Since the Austrian cruisers were found and have been destroyed by the British Navy, our Admiralty plans to attack our enemies in the western Mediterranean – with submarines. As the harbors are heavily guarded, we will strike where our chances are best. Following the failure of the Ottoman offensive against the Suez Canal, the Allies are transferring troops and materiél from North Africa to France. The enemy is transporting troops in single unguarded ships: apparently they feel completely safe! This will be your last mission with the Mediterranean fleet. We have a request from the Flanders fleet: upon your return, you will report to Zeebrugge, Belgium, to take command of a new submarine.
Your order is to find and destroy as many ships as possible in the target area. Good hunting!

New Submarine Type UB-I
Welcome to the Flanders Submarine Fleet. The war in the west has changed. Although we are nearing victory against the French fortress at Verdun, the British and the French are beginning new attacks at the river Somme. Our enemies are transporting more and more materiél to the Western Front, in order to supply further offensives. The situation for our submarines has become more complicated too. Although it is only a short distance from Zeebrugge to our target areas, the enemy’s minefields at the eastern entrance to the British Channel are becoming ever denser, and their patrols of the area even more frequent.
Luckily, the Admiralty had foreseen this situation and has developed a new submarine. The UB-I, a small and agile submarine, will be under your command. A great advantage is that our enemies find it hard to detect; however, its speed, range, and weaponry (one machine gun and two torpedoes) are limited. Our operational zone is the British Channel and the south coast of Britain.
Your orders are to find and sink hostile supply ships on their way from and to France. Good hunting!

British Channel
The enemy’s attacks continue against our positions on the Somme – and the amount of supplies they are shipping to France seems inexhaustible. In the east, the Russians, under the command of General Brussilow, have begun to attack Galicia. For this reason we have drawn some divisions from the Western Front, in order to strengthen our defensive position. The task of our submarines remains the disruption of supply lines to France.
Your orders are to sink as much tonnage as possible in your target area. Good hunting!

Finishing Shot
A British command ship, having collided with one of our mines in the North Sea, is now undergoing rough-and-ready repair in a bay on the east coast of England – with only a weak escort to guard it. As soon as the most urgent repairs have been completed, it will attempt to reach the nearest shipyard.
Your orders are to break through the patrols and sink the command ship. We must not miss such a great opportunity! Godspeed!

British Channel
General Hindenburg, the hero of Tannenberg in 1914, has been made Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces. We have conquered Verdun, stopped the Russian offensive, and declared war on Romania, which we are quickly occupying. As we are now openly at war with Italy, it is no longer necessary to fly the flag of Austria-Hungary when we attack the Italian fleet. In our operational zone, the British Channel, the strength of the enemy’s forces is still increasing. Intelligence gained through hostile flights is becoming more and more critical to the enemy, and thus demands our full alertness. Although we have lost some boats, our sinking statistics are improving – and our enemies suffering supply problems at the Western Front. We must not reduce our efforts.
Your orders are to sink as much tonnage as possible in the target zone. Good hunting!

Luring Ships From Harbor
The Admiralty, having decided to use our battleships against industrial sites and supply depots on the coast, experienced great successes in the first several attacks. The British fleet reacted by strengthening its naval defenses in the area. Now we will take advantage of their reaction by drawing their battleships into a submarine trap. Our attacks on their land targets will lure their ships out of harbor! We will be using Type UB-I submarines: it is hoped that their weaponry (just two torpedoes) will prove sufficient.
Your orders are to wait for battleships to come into the trap and to sink the most valuable targets. Godspeed!

The fierce battle for Verdun still draws all attention to it. Our enemies seem to be moving their last reserves to the front. Our troops are resisting them bravely. Supplies bound for France must be further reduced, in order to help our troops withstand the Allied attack. The number of submarines lost in the channel is increasing, but this sacrifice is worth the cost.

East Coast of England
As we attempt to break Allied supply lines through the British Channel, our losses are very high, but we continue our attacks nonetheless! The production of new submarines has increased significantly; each month we receive more and more submarines, easily replacing our losses. Since those submarines that have been prepared for the high seas must be used to attack the targets which are furthest away, Type UB-I submarines will attack supply lines on the British east coast.

Romania has been beaten and surrendered, and the situation in the east is excellent, although the long battle at Verdun was lost when our troops had to retreat in exhaustion. At least the enemies’ losses were great enough that we should be safe from renewed attack for some time. More importantly, our troops are planning their offensives for next spring. We must ensure that Allied materiél does not reach enemy troops, so that they cannot re-supply their reserves.

Thames
The extremely dense fog of the last days is expected to last a while longer. This should help us to hit the enemy where he has the best defenses yet expects us the least – at the mouth of the River Thames! If we succeed in sinking ships there, the British Admiralty must surely draw ships away from other areas in order to better protect the Thames. Keep in mind that our operational zone will be in shallow water.
Avoid the enemy’s protective devices and sink at least one valuable target! Godspeed!

East Coast of England
The government has offered peace to our enemies. The United States is supporting our plan, calling it “peace without winners.” We will insist on keeping additional territory, particularly in the east; we must have control over our colonies again, as well. The Allies seem to be ready to negotiate – and the power of our submarines will convince them!
It seems that the British weren’t expecting us an offensive against their east coast supply depots: our first attacks brought excellent results. For the greatest chance of further success, we must attack again immediately, to try to prevent them from transporting supplies of oil, coal, or steel.

Unconditional Submarine War
Peace negotiations were cancelled when the United States broke off diplomatic relations with us. Our government will not accept their demands or bow to their pressure! We have declared total and unconditional submarine warfare in the North Sea and the Bay of Biscay: indeed, in all the waters surrounding Britain. Finally our submarines will have sufficient scope! But the situation on the Western Front – where, in a few weeks, our troops must occupy newly built defensive positions – is critical. As one of our most experienced submarine commanders, you will be transferred to the Helgoland fleet, where you will be given command of a new type of submarine. (Your current ship will be given to another captain upon your return to port.) We wish you continuing success!
Your orders are to attack all cargo ships in the target area and sink them. Good hunting!

New Submarine Type UC-II
Welcome to the Helgoland Submarine Fleet! Since the declaration of total unconditional submarine warfare, our task has been to thoroughly disrupt and prevent the movement of Allied supplies. The increasing success of our mine-laying ships means that we can increase the number of UC-II submarines at the front. As the UC-II has greater range and additional weaponry, we can now attack convoys that were not previously within our reach. In addition, we can attack any ships we may encounter while returning to port. But first, make yourself familiar with your new boat!
Your orders are to mine the target area and, after that, to sink as many ships as possible. Godspeed!

The Bay of Biscay
There has been a revolution in Russia – the tsar is gone! It is now only a matter of time until the Russian army is completely demoralized: our troops are forcing them to continuously retreat. Once Russia is defeated, we will be able to transfer our troops west for a final strike. Our mine attacks on English harbors and our program of total unconditional submarine warfare are having the desired result. The number of sinkings is higher than ever. Now we will expand mine-laying into the Bay of Biscay Bay and western England’s coastal waters. This will allow us to attack supply ships coming from overseas.
Your orders are to mine the target area and, after that, to sink as many ships as possible. Godspeed!

The United States Enters the War
Finally placing their cards on the table, the United States declared war on April 6th. This changes the situation for our submarines. As the U.S. will try to move large numbers of troops and huge amounts of materiél to Europe, the harbors on the western coast of France will become important to them. We must prevent them from achieving any successes, even in their earliest attempts. The task of our submarines must be – at all costs – to stop American supplies from reaching the Continent, until we have won the war in the east and can strike with our full power in the west.
Your orders are to mine the harbor at Brest, and to attack and sink the supply ships that we expect will be there. Good hunting!

Oil Tankers to Iceland
England and France, relying on fresh supplies from their new American ally, have begun to attack our fortifications in Flanders. The amount of supplies coming from America is indeed increasing. Furthermore, the enemy has sent several oil tankers to Iceland, where they can refuel cargo ships traveling to England from the United States and Canada. As a result, these supply ships are able to take a much more northerly route. We must strictly prevent this, forcing our enemies to use the route where is much easier for our submarines to intercept them.
Your orders are to mine the target area to the west of Iceland and to sink the oil tankers. Good hunting!

Fishing Fleet
The British fleet’s blockade strategy has had, as its first effect, the rationing of food in the Homeland. Naturally, this has badly affected the morale of the people. In turn, the Emperor demanded that we strike back in the same manner. The number of supply ships sunk by our submarines has resulted in the first food shortages in Britain. We will strengthen our efforts and bring them to their knees! Our next strike will be against their fishing fleet, attacking their ability to feed their own people.
Your orders are to mine the target area, then attack the British fishing fleet. As they are not expecting attack, the fishing fleet will have little or no protection. Sink as much tonnage as possible! Good hunting!

Channel
In the East, our troops are unstoppable; they are now advancing on Riga. We will next attack the islands off the Baltic Coast, since conquering them will result in our complete control of the Baltic Sea. To accomplish this, we must cut off the Russian supplies which are being transported by ship. Presently, a large number of submarines are being transferred there, but our fleet must still cover target areas in the English Channel.
Your orders are to mine the target area, sinking as much tonnage as possible. Good hunting!

Convoy
The situation in Russia is becoming more explosive. The Bolsheviks under Lenin are planning a coup. This will be the end of the war in the East, which will help us by freeing up troops we need for our offensives in Belgium and France. The Russians are still fighting doggedly, but they can only keep going with the help of Allied supplies. Our task is to stop these supplies from getting through! It is believed that a group of cargo ships and oil tankers is being assembled off the coast of Scotland. Since the Brits don’t seem to have enough escort ships, we expect this convoy will be traveling nearly unprotected.
Your orders are to find this convoy and sink it. Next, mine the target area. Finally, supposing you have any torpedoes left, sink as much tonnage as possible. Godspeed!

Bay of Biscay
The revolution in Russia resulted in the Bolshevik faction coming into power. Since we believe they will stop fighting against us, we will begin to transfer submarines and troops to the Western Front, in order to stop a surprise attack. It is possible, nonetheless, that British troops could invade our front line. The Army Command considers this to be valuable experience, since we could also break through the enemy front once we have enough troops and artillery in place. If our strategy works, the unspeakable horrors of trench warfare will eventually come to an end. Aircraft intelligence, minefields, and convoy tactics are reducing our submarines’ ability to sink valuable targets at will. However, we must disrupt the flow of American supplies; thus we will next concentrate on mining important harbors.
Your orders are to mine the target area and, after that, to find and sink as much tonnage as possible in the patrol area. Good hunting!

Mine-layer
The Russians refuse to sign a peace treaty! Although they acknowledge the independence of the Baltic States, the Bolshevik government refuses our conditions. Therefore the Army Command has decided to invade Russian territory again, in order to force their capitulation. This will, unfortunately, delay the transfer of troops to the Western Front and our planned offensive there. The British fleet has been expanding its mine-laying program, in order to restrict the travel of our ships when they leave or enter our harbors. Previously, we had never been able to find one of their mine-laying squadrons, but now our aerial reconnaissance reports that these ships are on their way to Helgoland Bay. You are commanding the only submarine available for our defense.
Your orders are to find and attack the ships in the patrol zone and, after that, to lay mines in the target area and destroy as much tonnage as possible. Good luck!

Bay of Biscay
We signed a peace treaty with the Russians at Brest-Litovsk. All our conditions were accepted, so we are finally able to transfer a sufficient number of divisions to the Western front. The Ukraine is under control again, so we can soon expect grain deliveries to Germany. This, along with our expected success in the West, will surely raise morale at home, and possibly lead to a quick end to the war. At sea, American ships have created considerable difficulty. Travel through the British Channel has become nearly impossible due to minefields and destroyer patrols. In addition, British and American destroyers are equipped with depth-charges, bombs which are able to attack our submarines even when they are submerged. Nevertheless, we must keep high pressure on Allied shipping during the coming months.
Your orders are to mine the entrances to Southampton and Portsmouth harbors and to attack the supply routes at the western end of the British Channel. Good hunting!

Long Journey
Our troops have finally begun the offensive on the Western Front. We broke through the British lines in northern France and advanced nearly 100 km. In Flanders, our troops are once again approaching Paris. It seems that the force of our attack caught our enemies totally by surprise. Perhaps this is the beginning of our road to victory! In the North Sea our enemies have laid extensive mine obstacles between Norway and Scotland in an attempt to block the route around Scotland. But this area is very large and their mine-laying has only begun. The safest route to your operational zone lies near the Norwegian coast.
Your orders are to mine the target area and, on your return, to sink as much tonnage as possible. Godspeed!

Bay of Biscay
Our offensive on the Western Front has bogged down, and we are once again under static warfare along great stretches of our front line. American units were crucial to our enemy’s success; our troops, undermanned, could not continue their offensive against superior forces. Our submarines’ success in sinking ships in the Bay of Biscay and along the western coast of England has greatly decreased, mainly as a result of increased patrols by Allied destroyers and command ships. The patrol system makes it more and more difficult for us to find ships that we can attack, and our patrol times are growing longer as a result of these searches. Nevertheless, we must stop or disrupt our enemies’ re-supply to the best of our ability.
Your orders are to mine the target area and, after that, to sink as much tonnage as possible in the patrol area. Good hunting!

East Coast of England
Another offensive by our Army has been halted. Our enemies by far outnumber us: the United States, for example, is said to have a million soldiers in the field! They, together with the British and French, clearly have superior forces along the entire front. The length of time our submarines must spend at sea is resulting in their needing increased amounts of dockyard and repair time. In addition, replacement parts are becoming ever scarcer, even as dockworkers from the shipyards are being sent to the front. As a result, we are able to put fewer submarines into our operational zones. This forces us to choose nearby target areas, which means that we face higher risks – thanks to the frequent patrols and aerial reconnaissance flights.
Your orders are to mine the target area and, after that, to sink as much tonnage as possible in the patrol area. Good luck!

Last Chance
The situation on the Western front is dire. The Allies have broken through our defenses at Amiens and started a large offensive at the Marne. The Army Command calls it a “black day for the German Army”! In the Balkans, our Bulgarian allies are ready to capitulate. As a result of all this, the Admiralty has decided to lead a final strike against the British fleet in the North Sea. If we should succeed, we might yet turn the tide, by cutting off our enemies from their supplies, letting us hope for a peace treaty on our own terms. But before we dare undertake this final strike, the British fleet must be weakened.
Your orders are to mine the bases of the British home fleet and afterwards to attack and sink all command ships you are able to find. The future of our country depends on our submarines! Godspeed!

Protecting our Naval Fleet
The high command, realizing that our military situation is desperate, urgently requested that the government propose an armistice. The United States has demanded an end to our submarine war against trading ships and our government has accepted that demand. Despite work toward an armistice, our government is still planning a face-off against the British Royal Navy to obtain a final victory. If that should prove impossible, an honorable defeat would still be better than simply handing our fleet over to our enemies, as would occur in case of a capitulation.
Your orders are to protect our North Sea fleet. Head to the target area and attack all hostile warships. Good hunting!

Patrol
The war has begun. Since we are at war with her allies, Russia and France, the United Kingdom has also declared war. In the west, our armies have invaded Belgium and France, and are involved in severe battles. In the east, Russian armies have invaded East Prussia. Our forces are bravely defending this area and will surely drive back our enemies.
Our enemy is the British home fleet, which will try to blockade our harbors and bombard our bases. Your mission is to inflict as many casualties as possible on the enemy’s fleet as you make your way to the German coast. Proceed to the patrol area and wait until the enemy is sighted. Godspeed!

In the East, the enemy’s forces have been heavily defeated at Tannenberg. Although there are still hostile troops in our empire, we can drive Russia back with a united offensive, since England and France are defeated.
Several submarines remain missing after our first operations. We cannot claim any successes yet. We must prove the efficiency of our submarines before the war ends. Go to the patrol area and find and sink hostile ships. Good hunting!

We have achieved a glorious victory at the Masuric Sea. A full Russian army has been annihilated, and Hindenburg is being celebrated as a hero. In the West, our advance at the Marne has been temporarily stopped. Our armies are now trying to move around enemy positions, in the direction of the North Sea coast.
The Army Command has requested our support. Since our troops at the coast are under fire from Allied warships, their advance is greatly hindered. Your orders are to sink or drive away these hostile ships at any cost, and afterward to continue patrol and secure the area. Godspeed!

Due to incomplete reconnaissance we don’t know where the British heavy warships might be. To forestall their making a surprise attack on us, you are to scout the British home fleet’s war harbors on the Orkney Islands.

After the sinking of the passenger ship “Arabic,” our government has bent to the pressure of the United States and cancelled the submarine economic warfare campaign. As our submarines in the North Sea are now of no further use there, we will transfer as many of them as possible to other war zones. This is your last mission in the First Submarine Fleet.

Squadron
All of our bases in China and the Pacific have been conquered, and most of our armed merchant cruisers in the Far East have been destroyed. Thus the British will be able to withdraw their command ships from this area and move them into the North Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. The route of these ships will be through the Suez Canal. Before they continue on their way through the Mediterranean, most of them will bunker oil and provisions on Cypress, south of Larnaca. We shouldn’t miss this chance to attack!

The British withdrawal from Gallipoli has weakened their position in the eastern Mediterranean. Our task now is to further strengthen our position. We will do this by attacking supply ships coming through the Suez Canal to the Mediterranean, forcing the Allies to receive their supplies from Australia, India, and Arabia via the much longer route around Africa.

Final Mission in the Mediterranean
Since the Austrian cruisers were found and have been destroyed by the British Navy, our Admiralty plans to attack our enemies in the western Mediterranean – with submarines. As the harbors are heavily guarded, we will strike where our chances are best. Following the failure of the Ottoman offensive against the Suez Canal, the Allies are transferring troops and materiél from North Africa to France. The enemy is transporting troops in single unguarded ships: apparently they feel completely safe! This will be your last mission with the Mediterranean fleet. We have a request from the Flanders fleet: upon your return, you will report to Zeebrugge, Belgium, to take command of a new submarine.
Your order is to find and destroy as many ships as possible in the target area. Good hunting!

New Submarine Type UB-I
Welcome to the Flanders Submarine Fleet. The war in the west has changed. Although we are nearing victory against the French fortress at Verdun, the British and the French are beginning new attacks at the river Somme. Our enemies are transporting more and more materiél to the Western Front, in order to supply further offensives. The situation for our submarines has become more complicated too. Although it is only a short distance from Zeebrugge to our target areas, the enemy’s minefields at the eastern entrance to the British Channel are becoming ever denser, and their patrols of the area even more frequent.
Luckily, the Admiralty had foreseen this situation and has developed a new submarine. The UB-I, a small and agile submarine, will be under your command. A great advantage is that our enemies find it hard to detect; however, its speed, range, and weaponry (one machine gun and two torpedoes) are limited. Our operational zone is the British Channel and the south coast of Britain.
Your orders are to find and sink hostile supply ships on their way from and to France. Good hunting!

In the east, the Russians, under the command of General Brussilow, have begun to attack Galicia. For this reason we have drawn some divisions from the Western Front, in order to strengthen our defensive position. The task of our submarines remains the disruption of supply lines to France.

British Channel
General Hindenburg, the hero of Tannenberg in 1914, has been made Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces. We have conquered Verdun, stopped the Russian offensive, and declared war on Romania, which we are quickly occupying. As we are now openly at war with Italy, it is no longer necessary to fly the flag of Austria-Hungary when we attack the Italian fleet. In our operational zone, the British Channel, the strength of the enemy’s forces is still increasing. Intelligence gained through hostile flights is becoming more and more critical to the enemy, and thus demands our full alertness. Although we have lost some boats, our sinking statistics are improving – and our enemies suffering supply problems at the Western Front. We must not reduce our efforts.

Luring Ships From Harbor
The Admiralty, having decided to use our battleships against industrial sites and supply depots on the coast, experienced great successes in the first several attacks. The British fleet reacted by strengthening its naval defenses in the area. Now we will take advantage of their reaction by drawing their battleships into a submarine trap. Our attacks on their land targets will lure their ships out of harbor! We will be using Type UB-I submarines: it is hoped that their weaponry (just two torpedoes) will prove sufficient.
Your orders are to wait for battleships to come into the trap and to sink the most valuable targets. Godspeed!

British Channel
Our enemies are mounting a large offensive to re-take the recently conquered fortress at Verdun. The numbers of troops and amount of materiél assigned to the task are astronomical. Thus it is ever more important for us to hunt down supply ships traveling between England and the Continent.
Your orders are to sink as much tonnage as possible in the operational zone. Good hunting!

British Channel
The fierce battle for Verdun still draws all attention to it. Our enemies seem to be moving their last reserves to the front. Our troops are resisting them bravely. Supplies bound for France must be further reduced, in order to help our troops withstand the Allied attack. The number of submarines lost in the channel is increasing, but this sacrifice is worth the cost.
Your orders are to sink as much tonnage as possible in the target area. Good hunting!

East Coast of England
As we attempt to break Allied supply lines through the British Channel, our losses are very high, but we continue our attacks nonetheless! The production of new submarines has increased significantly; each month we receive more and more submarines, easily replacing our losses. Since those submarines that have been prepared for the high seas must be used to attack the targets which are furthest away, Type UB-I submarines will attack supply lines on the British east coast.
Your orders are to sink as much tonnage as possible in the target area. Good hunting!

British Channel
Romania has been beaten and surrendered, and the situation in the east is excellent, although the long battle at Verdun was lost when our troops had to retreat in exhaustion. At least the enemies’ losses were great enough that we should be safe from renewed attack for some time. More importantly, our troops are planning their offensives for next spring. We must ensure that Allied materiél does not reach enemy troops, so that they cannot re-supply their reserves.

Thames
The extremely dense fog of the last days is expected to last a while longer. This should help us to hit the enemy where he has the best defenses yet expects us the least – at the mouth of the River Thames! If we succeed in sinking ships there, the British Admiralty must surely draw ships away from other areas in order to better protect the Thames. Keep in mind that our operational zone will be in shallow water.
Avoid the enemy’s protective devices and sink at least one valuable target! Godspeed!

East Coast of England
The government has offered peace to our enemies. The United States is supporting our plan, calling it “peace without winners.” We will insist on keeping additional territory, particularly in the east; we must have control over our colonies again, as well. The Allies seem to be ready to negotiate – and the power of our submarines will convince them!
It seems that the British weren’t expecting us an offensive against their east coast supply depots: our first attacks brought excellent results. For the greatest chance of further success, we must attack again immediately, to try to prevent them from transporting supplies of oil, coal, or steel.
Your orders are to sink as much tonnage as possible in the target area. Good hunting!

Unconditional Submarine War
Peace negotiations were cancelled when the United States broke off diplomatic relations with us. Our government will not accept their demands or bow to their pressure! We have declared total and unconditional submarine warfare in the North Sea and the Bay of Biscay: indeed, in all the waters surrounding Britain. Finally our submarines will have sufficient scope! But the situation on the Western Front – where, in a few weeks, our troops must occupy newly built defensive positions – is critical. As one of our most experienced submarine commanders, you will be transferred to the Helgoland fleet, where you will be given command of a new type of submarine. (Your current ship will be given to another captain upon your return to port.) We wish you continuing success!
Your orders are to attack all cargo ships in the target area and sink them. Good hunting!

New Submarine Type UC-II
Welcome to the Helgoland Submarine Fleet! Since the declaration of total unconditional submarine warfare, our task has been to thoroughly disrupt and prevent the movement of Allied supplies. The increasing success of our mine-laying ships means that we can increase the number of UC-II submarines at the front. As the UC-II has greater range and additional weaponry, we can now attack convoys that were not previously within our reach. In addition, we can attack any ships we may encounter while returning to port. But first, make yourself familiar with your new boat!
Your orders are to mine the target area and, after that, to sink as many ships as possible. Godspeed!

The Bay of Biscay
There has been a revolution in Russia – the tsar is gone! It is now only a matter of time until the Russian army is completely demoralized: our troops are forcing them to continuously retreat. Once Russia is defeated, we will be able to transfer our troops west for a final strike. Our mine attacks on English harbors and our program of total unconditional submarine warfare are having the desired result. The number of sinkings is higher than ever. Now we will expand mine-laying into the Bay of Biscay Bay and western England’s coastal waters. This will allow us to attack supply ships coming from overseas.
Your orders are to mine the target area and, after that, to sink as many ships as possible. Godspeed!

The United States Enters the War
Finally placing their cards on the table, the United States declared war on April 6th. This changes the situation for our submarines. As the U.S. will try to move large numbers of troops and huge amounts of materiél to Europe, the harbors on the western coast of France will become important to them. We must prevent them from achieving any successes, even in their earliest attempts. The task of our submarines must be – at all costs – to stop American supplies from reaching the Continent, until we have won the war in the east and can strike with our full power in the west.
Your orders are to mine the harbor at Brest, and to attack and sink the supply ships that we expect will be there. Good hunting!

Oil Tankers to Iceland
England and France, relying on fresh supplies from their new American ally, have begun to attack our fortifications in Flanders. The amount of supplies coming from America is indeed increasing. Furthermore, the enemy has sent several oil tankers to Iceland, where they can refuel cargo ships traveling to England from the United States and Canada. As a result, these supply ships are able to take a much more northerly route. We must strictly prevent this, forcing our enemies to use the route where is much easier for our submarines to intercept them.
Your orders are to mine the target area to the west of Iceland and to sink the oil tankers. Good hunting!

Fishing Fleet
The British fleet’s blockade strategy has had, as its first effect, the rationing of food in the Homeland. Naturally, this has badly affected the morale of the people. In turn, the Emperor demanded that we strike back in the same manner. The number of supply ships sunk by our submarines has resulted in the first food shortages in Britain. We will strengthen our efforts and bring them to their knees! Our next strike will be against their fishing fleet, attacking their ability to feed their own people.
Your orders are to mine the target area, then attack the British fishing fleet. As they are not expecting attack, the fishing fleet will have little or no protection. Sink as much tonnage as possible! Good hunting!

Channel
In the East, our troops are unstoppable; they are now advancing on Riga. We will next attack the islands off the Baltic Coast, since conquering them will result in our complete control of the Baltic Sea. To accomplish this, we must cut off the Russian supplies which are being transported by ship. Presently, a large number of submarines are being transferred there, but our fleet must still cover target areas in the English Channel.

Convoy
The situation in Russia is becoming more explosive. The Bolsheviks under Lenin are planning a coup. This will be the end of the war in the East, which will help us by freeing up troops we need for our offensives in Belgium and France. The Russians are still fighting doggedly, but they can only keep going with the help of Allied supplies. Our task is to stop these supplies from getting through! It is believed that a group of cargo ships and oil tankers is being assembled off the coast of Scotland. Since the Brits don’t seem to have enough escort ships, we expect this convoy will be traveling nearly unprotected.
Your orders are to find this convoy and sink it. Next, mine the target area. Finally, supposing you have any torpedoes left, sink as much tonnage as possible. Godspeed!

Bay of Biscay
The revolution in Russia resulted in the Bolshevik faction coming into power. Since we believe they will stop fighting against us, we will begin to transfer submarines and troops to the Western Front, in order to stop a surprise attack. It is possible, nonetheless, that British troops could invade our front line. The Army Command considers this to be valuable experience, since we could also break through the enemy front once we have enough troops and artillery in place. If our strategy works, the unspeakable horrors of trench warfare will eventually come to an end. Aircraft intelligence, minefields, and convoy tactics are reducing our submarines’ ability to sink valuable targets at will. However, we must disrupt the flow of American supplies; thus we will next concentrate on mining important harbors.
Your orders are to mine the target area and, after that, to find and sink as much tonnage as possible in the patrol area. Good hunting!

Mine-layer
The Russians refuse to sign a peace treaty! Although they acknowledge the independence of the Baltic States, the Bolshevik government refuses our conditions. Therefore the Army Command has decided to invade Russian territory again, in order to force their capitulation. This will, unfortunately, delay the transfer of troops to the Western Front and our planned offensive there. The British fleet has been expanding its mine-laying program, in order to restrict the travel of our ships when they leave or enter our harbors. Previously, we had never been able to find one of their mine-laying squadrons, but now our aerial reconnaissance reports that these ships are on their way to Helgoland Bay. You are commanding the only submarine available for our defense.
Your orders are to find and attack the ships in the patrol zone and, after that, to lay mines in the target area and destroy as much tonnage as possible. Good luck!

Biskaya
In Brest-Litowsk wurde endlich ein Friedensvertrag mit den Russen unterzeichnet. Alle unsere Bedingungen wurden akzeptiert und endlich können wir eine ausreichende Zahl Divisionen an die Westfront verlegen. Auch ist die Ukraine jetzt unter unsere Kontrolle gestellt und wir können endlich wieder mit ausreichenden Getreidetransporten nach Deutschland rechnen. Dies und die zu erwartenden Erfolge im Westen werden auch die Moral unserer Bevölkerung wieder heben und diesen Krieg vielleicht endlich zu einem erfolgreichen Ende führen.
Auf See machen sich die amerikanischen Einheiten immer deutlicher zu unserem Nachteil bemerkbar. Die Durchfahrt durch den englischen Kanal ist nahezu unmöglich geworden. Die Minensperren und Zerstörerpatrouillen scheinen unüberwindlich. Auch sind immer mehr britische und amerikanische Zerstörer mit Wasserbomben ausgerüstet. So werden unsere U-Boot jetzt vermehrt unter Wasser angegriffen. Dennoch dürfen wir in unseren Bemühungen nicht nachlassen und müssen den Gegner in den nächsten Monaten weiter unter Druck setzen.
Ihre Order ist es, die Einfahrt nach Southampton und Pourtsmouth zu verminen und die Nachschubrouten am Westeingang des Kanals anzugreifen. Viel Erfolg!

Long Journey
Our troops have finally begun the offensive on the Western Front. We broke through the British lines in northern France and advanced nearly 100 km. In Flanders, our troops are once again approaching Paris. It seems that the force of our attack caught our enemies totally by surprise. Perhaps this is the beginning of our road to victory! In the North Sea our enemies have laid extensive mine obstacles between Norway and Scotland in an attempt to block the route around Scotland. But this area is very large and their mine-laying has only begun. The safest route to your operational zone lies near the Norwegian coast.
Your orders are to mine the target area and, on your return, to sink as much tonnage as possible. Godspeed!

Bay of Biscay
Our offensive on the Western Front has bogged down, and we are once again under static warfare along great stretches of our front line. American units were crucial to our enemy’s success; our troops, undermanned, could not continue their offensive against superior forces. Our submarines’ success in sinking ships in the Bay of Biscay and along the western coast of England has greatly decreased, mainly as a result of increased patrols by Allied destroyers and command ships. The patrol system makes it more and more difficult for us to find ships that we can attack, and our patrol times are growing longer as a result of these searches. Nevertheless, we must stop or disrupt our enemies’ re-supply to the best of our ability.
Your orders are to mine the target area and, after that, to sink as much tonnage as possible in the patrol area. Good hunting!

East Coast of England
Another offensive by our Army has been halted. Our enemies by far outnumber us: the United States, for example, is said to have a million soldiers in the field! They, together with the British and French, clearly have superior forces along the entire front. The length of time our submarines must spend at sea is resulting in their needing increased amounts of dockyard and repair time. In addition, replacement parts are becoming ever scarcer, even as dockworkers from the shipyards are being sent to the front. As a result, we are able to put fewer submarines into our operational zones. This forces us to choose nearby target areas, which means that we face higher risks – thanks to the frequent patrols and aerial reconnaissance flights.
Your orders are to mine the target area and, after that, to sink as much tonnage as possible in the patrol area. Good luck!

Last Chance
The situation on the Western front is dire. The Allies have broken through our defenses at Amiens and started a large offensive at the Marne. The Army Command calls it a “black day for the German Army”! In the Balkans, our Bulgarian allies are ready to capitulate. As a result of all this, the Admiralty has decided to lead a final strike against the British fleet in the North Sea. If we should succeed, we might yet turn the tide, by cutting off our enemies from their supplies, letting us hope for a peace treaty on our own terms. But before we dare undertake this final strike, the British fleet must be weakened.
Your orders are to mine the bases of the British home fleet and afterwards to attack and sink all command ships you are able to find. The future of our country depends on our submarines! Godspeed!

Protecting our Naval Fleet
The high command, realizing that our military situation is desperate, urgently requested that the government propose an armistice. The United States has demanded an end to our submarine war against trading ships and our government has accepted that demand. Despite work toward an armistice, our government is still planning a face-off against the British Royal Navy to obtain a final victory. If that should prove impossible, an honorable defeat would still be better than simply handing our fleet over to our enemies, as would occur in case of a capitulation.
Your orders are to protect our North Sea fleet. Head to the target area and attack all hostile warships. Good hunting!

Text0001.txt:
First Results
Shortly before sunset, the U-9, under the command of lieutenant Otto Weddigen, sighted the masts of a warship just beyond the horizon, near the Dutch coast. The U-9 submerged immediately. It soon became clear that the masts belonged to three British armored cruisers, the Aboukir, the Cressy, and the Hogue. From a distance of only 400 meters, the U-9 sank the Aboukir with a single torpedo. Next, the Cressy was destroyed, using two torpedoes. Finally, the Hogue, attempting to rescue survivors from the other ships, was also destroyed by two torpedoes of the U-9’s torpedoes. In less than an hour, one U-boat had sunk three armored cruisers totally more than 36,000 tons, and England was rudely awakened to the deadly threat of the German U-boat fleet.

Text0004.txt:
Unrestricted U-boat Warfare
Our military situation requires us to engage in unrestricted U-boat warfare. All ships, whether enemy or neutral, encountered in British waters, may be destroyed without prior warning. (The fact that enemy cargo ships are now armed has forced us to adopt this policy.)
Your Mission: Sink all cargo and warships you encounter: you need not warn them before attack. Note that enemy ships often sail under false colors, cargo ships are often armed, and rumors are circulating about so-called “U-boat traps,” heavily armed support cruisers disguised as cargo ships. Be alert!

Text0011.txt:
Encounter in the Fog
The Intelligence Corps has supplied information about two cargo ships with supplies (mostly ammunition!), which were loaded in Edinburgh. The transport is believed to be aiming for East Africa in order to supply English troops stationed there with enough ammunition to decisively attack German troops under the command of General Lettow-Vorbeck. We must assume that the convoy is under the protection of a strong escort (at least two destroyers).
Your Mission: Sink both cargo ships, no matter what the circumstances. There is a strong chance of fog this time of year, so take care!

Text0015.txt:
Safe Return Home
The Battle of Skagerrak is over and the German High Seas Fleet has returned home. However, aerial reconnaissance informs us that the seriously damaged battle cruiser Seydlitz is still at sea. She is being pursued by the British Grand Fleet as she attempts to make her way into the Bay of Helgoland.
Your Mission: Sink or drive away the Seydlitz’s pursuers, in order to allow our battle cruiser to return home safely. Use every option available to you, even if it means risking the safety of your own U-boat. The U-66 will back you up.

Text0016.txt:
Day of the Eagle
The steady supply of American troops and matériel poses a serious threat to our front lines in France and Belgium. Our U-boats’ foremost goal must be to cut off these transports.
Your Mission: Sink as much enemy tonnage as possible near the Sicilian Islands, a gathering point of Allied forces in the southwest of England. At your estimated time of arrival there, at least ten transport ships should be awaiting their escorts at that location. That means easy prey! The nearby Royal Air Force Base should not pose any problems, as it is believed that only reconnaissance aircraft are based there.

Text0050.txt:
Submarine School 1
Accelerate your submarine, using one of these two methods. 1. In the Control Room (F2), click on the desired machine speed. 2. Alternatively, use the cursor up and cursor down keys to increase or decrease the submarine's speed by one level. To rise or descend, use the depth gauge in the Control Room or the Periscope Room (F8). Your submarine must be in motion in order to rise or descend.
Steer your submarine to the target areas, marked by circles on the map (F5), using one of these three methods. 1. Set the desired course by clicking on the direction indicator in the lower right corner. 2. Set your course by clicking on the desired degree of the compass in the Control Room (F2). 3. Press the left or right cursor keys until the submarine moves in the correct direction. To end the mission, return your submarine to the base.

Text0051.txt:
Submarine School 2
Home in on one of the targets ahead. Change the viewing angle of the turret, through the binoculars and the periscope, by using the arrow keys on the numeric keypad (the 4 key will turn toward the left, the 6 key toward the right). If you press the shift key at the same time, your change of direction will be slowed. Press the 5 key to center the view in the direction that the submarine is moving.
You will see all available target information once you have locked on a target. Mark the target with the L key, and torpedoes will be locked onto it. To fire a torpedo, use the firing mechanism in the Torpedo Room (F4) or Periscope Room (F8). Once you have destroyed a target, maneuver your submarine into position to aim at the next one. Return to base to end the mission.

Text0052.txt:
Submarine School 3
Man the cannon using the F5 key. Control the cannon's direction with the 4 and 6 keys on the numeric keypad. Use the 2 and 8 keys on the numeric keypad to change the firing angle, and thus the firing range, of the cannon. Locking on the target with the L key will give you all necessary information on the target and hit list. Fire the cannon with the G key once you have entered the correct direction and distance. You may fire again when reloading has been completed. You will see the distance between the target and the last impacts on the target and hit list, to correct your cannon settings if necessary. Sink the target. Return to base to end the mission.

Text0053.txt:
Submarine School 4
Man the machine gun using the F6 key. Press the right mouse button to activate the machine gun and the left mouse button to fire. To go to a different station, press the right mouse button again. Ammunition belts contain a specific number of shells. When a belt has been emptied it must be replaced, and the machine gun will cool down for some seconds. Shoot down the two airplanes. Return to base to end the mission.

Text0054.txt:
Submarine School 5
To deploy the mines, use the release lever in the Torpedo Room (F4). Each time you activate the lever, one mine will glide into the ejection bay. Mines will sink to the bottom at first, but after some time they will rise to the surface, where they are held by a rope. Under no circumstances should you stay in a location that you have mined, or the mines will destroy your own boat. Deploy mines in the target area marked on the map, placing them in such a way that the target ship will hit at least one mine. Return to base to end the mission.
