On instructions from Naval War Staff boats have been given the following order:
"French Antilles and French Guyana are loyal to Vichy. Ships "Angaulema", "Guadaloupe", "Due Daumal", "San Domingo" and the tanker "Bourgogne" are thus again to be permitted to carry supplies to these possessions from the American area. Today or tomorrow the first vessels will leave the Antilles. Do not molest them".

Captured French submarines "Phoque" and "Saphir" depart Bizerte, Tunisia with an Italian crew.

U 214 (VIID; Kptlt. Günther Reeder) sighted 3 tankers, 3 patrol boats, in ED (square garbled) course S.W. Forced away from convoy by strong land-based air patrols. Bombs and flares, submarine submerged during the day. No shipping in EC 90. Very strong land-based air activity. Moved away to the north because of breakdown of gyro.

U 134 (Kptlt. Rudolf Schendel) sighted a corvette in DS 6670 at 1400 on northerly course.

U 224 (Oblt. Hans-Carl Kosbadt) reported that Warrant Quartermaster was sick. After conversation with doctor she was ordered to carry out her special task (break through at Gibraltar).

U 618 (Oblt. Kurt Baberg) reported: Brightly illuminated steamer, similar to the English steamer announced to be leaving Lisbon. She proceeded south within territorial waters south of Lisbon. This strengthened the assumption that enemy shipping between Lisbon and Gibraltar sailed within territorial waters camouflaged as neutral.

"Milkcow" U 459 (KrvKpt. Georg von Wilamowitz-Möllendorf) has been given FD 2555 as rendezvous to supply the Italian submarine "CAGNI" as planned.

U 124 (Kptlt. Johann Mohr) reported that she had contact with the convoy (TB.1) from 0300 to 0600, 9 ships, 4 destroyers from EO 5235 to 5269, 160°, 8 knots. She sank 1 tanker and 4 freighters, totaling 28,000 GRT.

Convoy No. 2 (TM.1):
After temporary loss of contact U 181 (IXD2; Kptlt. Wolfgang Lüth) sighted convoy of 3 tankers in DG 9517 at 1320. Last report from U 134 at 1530 from DG 9278.
Following reports of success have been received:
U 522 (Kptlt. Herbert Schneider): sank 2 tankers 16,000 GRT; probably sank 1 tanker 8,000 GRT.
U 436 (Kptlt. Günther Seibicke): torpedoed tankers on 8.1, 3 were sunk 31,000 GRT.
U 511 (Kptlt. Fritz Schneewind): sank "William Wilberforce" in DG 9116 (ship was not part of convoy) 5,004 GRT.
U 442 (Korvkpt. Hans-Joachim Hesse): sank 1 large tanker (heard to sink); sank 1 large fleet tanker and sank 1 abandoned tanker - both tankers probably torpedoed by U 575 (Kptlt. Günther Heydemann) 28,000 GRT; saw 1 tanker sink.
U 134 (Kptlt. Rudolf Schendel): sank 1 tanker with 3 hits at 1533. Tanker was in convoy. 8,000 GRT.
The last convoy formation is still being stalked (it probably consists of 2 convoy formations of 3 tankers each).

Another Soviet offensive, Operation Ring, begins at Stalingrad.

Convoy No. 2 (TM.1):
At 1254 U 620 (Oblt. Heinz Stein) picked up a convoy formation. During the day U 571 (Kptlt. Helmut Möhlmann) and U 522 (Kptlt. Herbert Schneider) also contacted the convoy. At 2015 U 620 scored 2 hits on 2 tankers in staggered formation during an underwater attack at dusk. The same boat scored one hit in DH 5119 on a damaged tanker, she then shot the boat to pieces with gunfire. U 571 fired a miss from stern tube at a patrol vessel and probably scored 2 hits on a tanker (9,000 GRT). U 522 sank a tanker (9,000 GRT) and torpedoed a large tanker. Although 2 tankers had definitely been sunk, probably even 3, U 511 (Kptlt. Fritz Schneewind) reported in the morning that the remaining convoy formation consisted of 2 tankers, 2 submarines also agree with supposition that 2 convoy formations had been attacked. Two submarines continued the operation. The remaining boats had lagged behind after being depth-charged or after making attacks and they are proceeding to the supply rendezvous in DG 50.

The Russian BI-2 rocket-powered prototype aircraft takes its first flight at Sverdlovsk (now Yekaterinburg), Sverdlovsk Oblast, Russia (the second flight of the design), reaching an altitude of 1,100 meters and reaching the speed of 400 kilometers per hour.

+++++++

Chinese Ambassador Wei Daoming and US Secretary of State Cordell Hull sign the Treaty for Relinquishment of Extraterritorial Rights in China, in Washington DC. Through this treaty, the Americans give up territorial claims in China and give up the American portion of the Boxer Protocol.

Soviet troops launch the Novorossiysk-Maikop Offensive Operation in the Caucasus region of southern Russia.

U 124 (Kptlt. Johann Mohr) 11.1. stalked freighter "Angle Indian" in EO 6616, course 300°, 10 knots. Double miss, torpedoes set too deep, observed before boat was forced to submerge by air patrol.

Convoy No. 2 (TM.1): U 511 (Kptlt. Fritz Schneewind) was forced by a Sunderland to submerge during the morning, and at 1609 by 2 Corvettes, so that she lagged behind. As the 2 remaining tankers proceeded at a speed of about 12 to 13 knots and the submarines would have caught up with them until the next day at the earliest, when they would have reached the area of regular air patrols, the attack on the convoy was broken off.

U 177 (IXD2; Kptlt. Robert Gysae) passed on her experiences to U 182 (IXD2; Kptlt. Asmus Nicolai Clausen) and handed over "Eisbär" order.

So far, because of bad weather, only U 662 (KrvKpt. Wolfgang Hermann) has refueled from U 117 (XB; Korvkpt. Hans-Werner Neumann). This rules out the possibility of detailing the remaining boats of former Group "Spitz" (U 123, 260, 440, 706, 662) and Group "Jaguar" to attack the expected northeast convoy (HX or SC) N.E. of Newfoundland.

General:
The setting-up of Group "Falke" was not successful, the "ONS" convoy was not contacted. The two unsuccessful operations prove the crying need for more submarines. The longer the patrol strip and the closer the boats, the greater the chance of contacting a convoy. Present lack of submarines prevents the setting-up of several patrols with sufficient boats. As long as reinforcements from home remain as weak as during the last few months, conditions will not improve. This once again emphasizes the great draw back of our naval warfare: the lack of all air reconnaissance. The effect of our submarine warfare would be very different if the submarines did not have to seek and find the enemy for themselves; they are totally unfitted for this task, for it requires large numbers of boats, it also causes long, wasteful, fruitless waiting.

The Russian BI-2 rocket-powered prototype aircraft takes its second flight at Sverdlovsk (now Yekaterinburg), Sverdlovsk Oblast, Russia, reaching an altitude of 2,190 meters and reaching the speed of 675 kilometers per hour.

Our troops withdraw from the Caucasus region to the Kuban bridgehead, while the Soviets launch Operation Spark, an offensive to restore communication and over-land supply route to Leningrad.

U 160 (Kptlt. Georg Lassen) has replaced U 522 (Kptlt. Herbert Schneider) in Group "SEEHUND" and has been ordered to make for GG 10 (Capetown).

U 459 (KrvKpt. Georg von Wilamowitz-Möllendorf) reported that 2 destroyers were waiting in the rendezvous square FD 25 where she was to meet the Italian submarine J 28. Rendezvous was moved to FD 34.

Final Remarks on convoy TM.1:
The operation begun at 1600 on 3.1.1943 took the desired course. The Group "DELPHIN" patrol picked up the convoy on 8.1. 0116 hours after U 514 (Kptlt. Hans Jürgen Auffermann) sent her last shadower report. The convoy continues somewhat south of the Great Circle, without altering its mean course. The convoy escort, which consisted mainly of fairly old gun boats and Corvettes, was inexperienced and not very dogged. Despite excellent hydrophone and Asdic conditions with very calm weather and sea, it did not succeed in badly damaging a single boat, let alone sinking one. Surface location was not observed. On the whole the results can be described as very good and particularly satisfactory for Operational Control, who with great good fortune were justified in making their hard decisions on 4.1. to desert the fast convoy proceeding to America which had been contacted once in favor of a convoy which could not be picked up for over 100 hours. 15 tankers totaling about 141,000 GRT were sunk. No submarines were damaged.

Two companies of "Loreto" combat engineers battalion of the Italian Air Force are transferred by ship from Sicily, to Tunis; the remaining two companies of the 1st Air Force Assault Regiment "Amedeo d'Aosta" will remain in Sicily to repair airfields.

Our Luftwaffe raids Telepte Airfield in Tunisia three times and Youks-les-Bains Airfield in Algeria once. The enemy claims that a total of 15 of our aircraft are shot down during these attacks.

General:
Neither the "SC" nor the "HX" convoy (Group "Jaguar") were contacted. Unfortunately delays in refueling reduced Group "Jaguar" to 6 boats. Probably "SC" and "HX" passed to the north of the submarine disposition.
These two convoys bring the total up to four that have been missed since 31.12. It must be assumed that the enemy has left the convoy routes that he has been sailing for nearly 5 months and is again scattering his convoy routes. This development is a great drawback to attacks by our boat, but was only to be expected. As has already been emphasized, it was quite inexplicable why the English stuck so stubbornly to almost the same convoy routes for six months, which greatly simplified finding the convoys.
Probably the convoy routes to the north have been moved into the patrol areas of the Greenland and Iceland units. The next step for us to take is to make long dispositions with numerous boats so as to find out exactly what detours the enemy is making. Groups "Falke" and "Habicht" have been given a disposition for 16.1 against the "ONS" convoy with this end in view. If this operation is again unsuccessful, it will be necessary to patrol farther to the north, preferably in the area S.E. of Greenland.

The Pentagon, the new building in Virginia, United States, and the future home of the US Department of War, are dedicated.

Iraq declares war on the Axis powers.

British bombers attack Berlin.

Soviet troops capture Pitomnik Airfield west of Stalingrad, denying the 6.Armee the ability to fly in supplies and fly out wounded men.

U 214 (VIID; Kptlt. Günther Reeder) sighted 8 tankers putting out in EC 92 easterly course, speed 12 knots. Betrayed by splash of torpedo discharge during daylight attack. No contact.

Groups "Falke" and "Habicht" received orders to steer on a course of 330° at a speed of 6 knots on 1100, and to occupy the position lines "Falke" from AD 8835 to AK 6362; "Habicht" from AL 4171 to 7229 at 0430 on 17.1 as patrol channels. U 414 and U 268 exchange positions owing to reversed times of arrival. This move to the N.W. follows a Radio Intelligence report, according to which the last ONS convoy apparently deviated far to the N. as far as the new patrolled area.

As, according to Radio Intelligence report (special) the convoy New York/Gibraltar has been delayed for 6 days. Group "Delphin" received orders to proceed on a course of 285° at a speed of 6 knots by day and to remain in patrol channels at night. Intention: Perfect patrol of occupied channels and area gain for actions.

As it may be presumed with certainty that the expected HX and SC (convoy) passed unperceived, the boats of Group "Jaguar" are allocated the following operation areas until planned arrival of next convoys: In AJ: U 337 = 7655, U 413 = 7963, U 598 = 8491, U 594 = 8792, U 96 = 8887, U 123 = 8982, - In BC: U 266 = 2126, U 662 = 2257. This should ensure a further if not infallible patrol of this area used by the enemy for Greenland and Iceland convoys.

U 66 (Kptlt. Friedrich Markworth) sighted 2 heavy cruisers and 4 destroyers on a course of 65° in DH 7297, speed 20 knots. Contact lost short time afterwards.

U 105
(Oblt. Jürgen Nissen) Situation: Nothing sighted for 8 days, apart from a destroyer, in area of Tobago Passage. Regular traffic to Port of Spain is therefore unlikely through this way. Boat sank a freighter in ED 5956. Night aerial activity experienced once without radar in ED 8653. Otherwise nothing confirmed. Return passage owing to fuel situation.

Current Operations
:
As it is presumed that the boats belonging to Group "Falke" and "Habicht" are W. of the expected convoys, both groups proceeded on an easterly course with a speed of 6 knots at 1300.
U 414 (Oblt. Walther Huth) and U 631 (Oblt. Jürgen Krüger) were attacked several times in the course of the afternoon by enemy wheeled aircraft and search groups. As up to dusk the convoy had not been found, both groups turned on a course of 270° with speed of 6 knots at 1900. In this way the convoy was to be prevented from passing through unperceived by night.
At 2136 U 268 (Oblt. Ernst Heydemann) reported (T.O.O. 1600) a large convoy on a northwesterly course in AD 8947. Boat attacked and sank large tanker. Subsequently forced to submerge for 6 hours by aircraft and destroyers. According to boats estimate this was connected with a HX convoy. As U 268 was about 55 miles astern and contact was lost - also as Group "Falke" could not have reached the convoy until the next day in an area of heavy enemy air protection it was not detailed for action. Instead the boats U 614 (Kptlt. Wolfgang Sträter) and U 456 (Kptlt. Max-Martin Teichert) coming from the east and in approximately AE 70 were assigned for this task. "Falke" and "Habicht" also U 268 proceeded further to the W. and on 18.1 at dawn return back from reached AD 8735 to AK 1262 also AK 1371 to AL 2129 to 90° at a speed of 6 knots.
U 632 (Kptlt. Hans Karpf) fired 2 misses at an escort vessel in AD 8974. U 631 (Oblt. Jürgen Krüger) sighted unidentified craft on westerly course in AK 3267. No further contact with the enemy. Whether this refers to an escort craft has not been ascertained.

U 706
(Kptlt. Alexander von Zitzewitz) has taken on supplies from U 117 (XB; Korvkpt. Hans-Werner Neumann) and occupies BC 2318, depth 40 seamiles as action area. Further supplying from U 117 was not possible up to now owing to bad weather conditions. U 260 (Kptlt. Hubertus Purkhold) and U 440 (Kptlt. Hans Geissler) still expect replenishment of supplies. Latter received ordered to return owing to the small amount on the tanker.

Operation Spark, which commenced 6 days earlier, successfully openes a corridor into Leningrad. The Soviet government announces the end of the siege, although that state will still continue until 27 Jan 1943.

The Soviets capture Cherkessk in the Caucasus region.

Late in the day, three He 111 transport aircraft of unit III./KG 55 attempt to land at the small Gumrak Airfield at Stalingrad. The first lands but will not be able to takeoff again, the second makes ten failed attempts at lining up with the wreck-strewn short runway but ultimately pushes its cargo of 20 sacks of bread out of the bomb bay doors without landing, and the third follows suit.

British submarine Thunderbolt
departed Malta for Tripoli, Libya, with two Chariot manned torpedoes. The two Chariot teams discover the harbor to be empty of ships and become stuck far behind enemy lines. One team is captured and the other escapes and eventually finds the advancing British 8th Army.

From 1030 groups "Falke" and Habicht" approached the convoy at 1030 at a speed of 4 knots in bad weather conditions and remained in position line reached at 1400 as patrol lines. U 594 (Oblt. Friedrich Mumm) and U 226 (Kptlt. Rolf Borchers) were attacked in the afternoon by "Consolidated" and wheeled aircraft.
At sunset both groups again proceeded at a speed of 6 knots to the W. and slow up at 1130 in patrol lines from AD 7926 to AK 6142 also AK 6181 to AK 9317. If the convoy has not yet passed the lines, a one to one and a half days postponement must have taken place. It is intended to remain in patrol lines during the day and if the convoy is then not intercepted to be redisposed in another area.

U 614 (Kptlt. Wolfgang Sträter) and U 456 (Kptlt. Max-Martin Teichert) who were both detailed to operate on the HX convoy broke off operations at dawn and steered a course for AL 94 at economical cruising speed.

Group "Delphin"
proceeded on a course of 285°, with a speed of 6 knots at 1100 and remained as patrol from CE 7162 to DF 3669 at 2030. Passage further to the W. is not intended. The passing of the convoy can still be expected.

In order to intercept another convoy expected on 20.1 and yet another on 21.1., Group "Jaguar" is to take up the following patrol lines from AJ 7915 to BC 2135. Order: U 337 - 413 - 598 - 594 - 96 - 266 - 123 - 706 and 622.

US government bannes the sale of sliced bread by commercial bakers
; they must sell their bread in entire loaves in order to save wrapping material. The ban will be lifted on 8 Mar 1943 after officials realized the ban was ineffective.
