End of May 1941. Battle of the Denmark Strait. Grid AL2167. Sound contact bearing 078 turns out to be fast moving warships. Heading WSW. 21 kts. Carrier, two BBs and a few cruisers and destroyers. 5000m bow shot with four T2s. Hit a Dido class, 2 hits on the Illustrious class n the fourth misses. Dido blows up and the carrier sinks by the bow. Renown class sweeps by and all gone in 5 minutes. Raced down to BE53 but missed the end of the Bismarck...
Gets home, awarded Golden Oakleaves like my hero Rudel.
Then I get demoted to Oberleutnant zur see.

Any ideas my fellow Kaleun? I quite enjoyed being a KptLt.

Oblt zur see Riccardo
U-66. June 13th 1941.
