Good evening Gentleman, I understand that there will be a party held in the honor of the brave crews. The Party in all of its wisdom has decided to honor our small group..
Special Instructions:
Everyone is now in La Rochelle, so please remember Bay of Biscay on both ends of transit. Gentlemen, I won't take up much of your time, as I know that you are preparing to get underway. All the difficulties with the torpedoes have been overcome. (G7a and G7e dud rate is now 1 on D6). Also, 15th Flotilla will no longer be undertaking mine laying operations, further orders to follow.
Historic Notes
February 1942
Atlantic
2nd - As she attacked a damaged troopship sailing from the Azores, "U-581" was sunk by escorting destroyer "Westcott".
5th - "U-136" on patrol off Rockall sank two escorts. The first was corvette "ARBUTUS" detached with destroyer "Chelsea" from UK/Halifax convoy ONS63 to hunt for a reported U-boat.
6th - Returning from the American coast where she sank destroyer "Belmont", "U-82" encountered UK/Sierra Leone convoy OS18 north of the Azores and was destroyed by corvette "Tamarisk" and sloop "Rochester".
11th - "U-136's" second success less than a week later was Canadian corvette "SPIKENARD" escorting Halifax/UK convoy SC67.
Battle of the Atlantic - U-boats extended Operation 'Paukenschlag' as far south as the Caribbean and started by shelling installations and sinking tankers off Aruba, Curacoa, Trinidad and other oil ports. However, they were still active elsewhere in the Atlantic, and east of Newfoundland a pack of five attacked convoy ON67 (36 ships). Eight ships were lost, of which six were the ever-valuable tankers. The Royal Navy suffered a major setback when U-boats in the Atlantic changed from the Enigma 'Hydra' code to 'Triton'. This was not be broken until December 1942 - a ten month delay. But all was not lost as 'Hydra' was still used in European waters. This, together with signals traffic analysis and the vast amount of experience built up to date, meant that a remarkably accurate picture could be drawn of U-boat operations and intentions.
Monthly Loss Summary
- 73 British, Allied and neutral ships of 430,000 tons in the Atlantic from all causes, 2 corvettes and 2 US destroyers off Newfoundland and the US east coast
- 2 German U-boats
