U-65 - IXB - Kaleu Hansen - Apr 010839 1945 - Center AL35 - Patrol 31

This night we received another report on a large convoy not far away in the north-east - heading south-south-west. We made a wide detour towards south-east. Going on surface now - 15 knots. Weather is still too nice!

Was just attacked by a Wellington. Decided to stay up and defend ourselves. It didn't even get close before it went down in a dive, one engine on fire.

Shall dive now and lay still before we continue on the surface in the evening.
