Quote:
+++++++ Monday, 28 December 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 86 (Kptlt. Walter Schug) situation report: 23.12. north, east and south coast of Flores thoroughly searched for torpedoed steamer. Apart from the gunboat "Velho" nothing was sighted. From 25 -28.12. submarine was on the boundary of the territorial waters Ponta Delgada. Sighted: 1 steamer on course of 1700, 2 coastal freighters entering port and 4 Swedish Red Cross ships. Boat requested permission for protracted return voyage. He was ordered to start back via BD 98 and search the area for torpedoed vessels that have had to fall out of convoy. Continue voyage according to fuel position. The boats which had been waiting some 10 days in CD 90 for supplies, i.e. U 508 - 154 - 163 - 129 refueled from "Milkcow" U 463 (KrvKpt. Leo Wolfbauer) and are continuing their homeward voyage. The homeward bound "Rhakotis" (Trans: Blockade runner) was picked up at 0900 in CE 1388 by the submarines U 410 - 409 - 621, who were waiting there. Because of the nearby convoy the ship took a northerly course until 0400, then steered for point "Raummass". For some inexplicable reason U 409 (Oblt. Hanns-Ferdinand Massmann) reported about 1900 that he had given up the convoy duty because of complete breakdown of radar interception gear and was operating against Convoy No. 72. The commander will have to account for this arbitrary behavior on his return. U 659 (Kptlt. Hans Stock) was ordered to act as substitute, but could not reach the homeward bound vessel during the night. U 648 (Ltnt.z.S.d.R. Peter-Arthur Stahl) conducts exercises with the AGRU-Front Hela. KorvKpt.& Cmdr. U 115
