AL 73... Cant find it on the map...

So, I just got my orders for my 17th war patrol in U45, and after safely sailing my boat out of the bunker in Lorient, and when preparing to chart the course towards my designated patrol area I can't seem to find the area AL 73 on the map... Is this a bug, or are Adm. Dönitz staff playing an elaborate trick on me?

Also, I got fired on by a neutral ship on an earlier patrol... I did not shoot first... Is this scripted behavior if you get to close to neutral shipping with your sub?

Lastly, encountering ships with Norwegian flag, months after the end of fighting in Norway, and way after the exile government had formed in the UK, but ships with Norwegian flags still show as neutral shipping... Surely Norwegian flagged vessels were not regarded as neutral at this late stage in the war? All Norwegian flagged ships were called in to service for the Norwegian exile government, so they were all regarded as valid / enemy vessels. Bug? Or am I missing something?

Anyone?
