December 31st, 1939 Kiel
0744 On the eve of 1940 U48 leaves Kiel again.
Weather is poor and visibility really troublesome so we must be really careful to avoid a collision here.
We are moving out at 5 knots, just to be safe.

Assigned patrol area is AN11...it will be cold and dark up there...and I'm willing to bet there will be plenty warships in the area.

On the way out I'm planning to do some training: must get to know crew and boat better.
That could save our lives at a later time.

Plotted course will have U48 sail north toward Oslo then west till Kristiansand and from there WNW toward our assigned patrol area passing trough the gap between Orkney's and Sheatland's Isles

On we go!
