First War Patrol
(17th war patrol overall)

Sunday, 23 May 1943 - West of the Cape Verde Islands

0200 - Qu.6378EH - Outgoing F.T.: To B.d.U.:
Reached second patrol point acc. Op.Orders. Heading toward supply boat. 463cbm. 6 eels. SW6/5, clear, light haze, medium visibility,>1000mb. - RST -

0930 - Qu.6688EH - Early Morning Dawn.

1035 - Sunrise. Weather and Sea unchanged in 13.5h.

1104 - Incoming F.T.: From B.d.U.:
O.K.M.-Report about overwhelming superiority of enemy Anti Submarine Warfare, with total air patrol cover and equipping of enemy aircraft with new radar technology and enemy escorts with new Wabo throwers.

1112 - F.T. from B.d.U.: To all boats:
Acc. O.K.M.-Report as per B.d.U. F.T.1104/23/5, after 14 boats had been lost in the Atlantic in February, in March 13 and in April 12, the extent of the losses in the Atlantic in May has already reached the figure of 31 boats lost up to the 22nd May, and 2 further ones have probably been lost in the operation against HX 239.
Losses, even heavy losses, must be borne when they are accompanied by corresponding sinkings. But, in May in the Atlantic, the sinking of about 10,000 GRT had to be paid for by loss of a boat, while not long ago there was loss only with the sinking of about 100,000 GRT. The losses in May have, therefore, reached an impossible height. For one, they were lost during convoy operations and for another, during passage of the Bay of Biscay. Under the current circumstances, it is impossible to continue with convoy operations.
