U.A.K., 2nd Training Division (U.L.D.) and 22nd U-Flotilla, Gotenhafen-Oxhöft
Quote:
+++++++ Tuesday, 3 November 1942 - Gotenhafen-Oxhöft Work-up's and Trials with the U.A.K. (Kpt.z.S.R. BRÄUTIGAM), the 2nd Training Division (U.L.D.; Freg.Kpt.d.R. Ernst HASSHAGEN) and 22nd U-Flotilla (Korvkpt. Wilhelm Ambrosius): Dry-Run Exercises with Machinery/Mechanics; Weapons; Torpedoes. +++++++ U 440 (Kptlt. Hans Geissler) sighted 2 destroyers on E. course at 1035 in CG 7454 and reported at 0130 a convoy in CF 9595, course E. Operation impossible because of condition of the boat. Looks like the same group that was reported by U 514 (Kptlt. Hans Jürgen Auffermann) on 2 November in CF 4399. Operation was not possible since no boats are in the area. Following orders were given for Special Operation: U 407 and U 617 steer for CG 61. U 662 (KrvKpt. Wolfgang Hermann) make for U 509 (IXC; KrvKpt. Werner Witte) in DG 3355 and take on 30 cubic meters of fuel. U 440 is to report as soon as boat is repaired. More to follow. U 172 (Kptlt. Carl Emmermann) and U 68 (KrvKpt. Karl-Friedrich Merten) will have freedom of movement in GF, since movements there are favorable from time to time. After sun down, Allies launch renewed attacks at the weakened Axis defensive positions near El Alamein, Egypt. British Ventura aircraft fly their first combat mission against a factory in Hengelo in the Netherlands. The US government demands Finland to cease hostilities against the Soviet Union. RST
KorvKpt.& Cmdr. U 115
