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:
I believe everyone is now in La Rochelle, so please remember Bay of Biscay on both ends of transit.
Historic Notes
OCTOBER 1939
Atlantic
30th - Destroyers "Harvester" and "Highlander" sank "U-32" northwest of Ireland during a convoy attack. Two days earlier, the U-boat had finished off the damaged 42,000-ton liner "Empress of Britain" (below).
Battle of the Atlantic - Focke-Wulf Kondor bombers continued to range the waters off Ireland and on the 26th, bombed and damaged the "Empress of Britain", later sunk by "U-32" (above). The Luftwaffe's long-range aircraft were now flying from bases in Norway as well as France. Inter-service rivalry between the Luftwaffe and Navy meant the Kondor would never be fully integrated into the Gerrnan effort in the Battle of the Atlantic.
Escort limits were only now pushed out to 19W. In a series of wolf-pack attacks on lightly-defended Canada/UK convoys, U-boats sank more than 30 ships from SC7 and HX79 between the 17th and 20th, a rate of loss that would soon have brought Britain to her knees. Fortunately, a number of measures were being taken to ease the dire situation and provide some of the foundations from which Britain and her Allies would go on to hold the U-boat threat in check: (1) The old US destroyers were coming into service and the British building programme was starting to deliver the escorts needed. (2) The need for permanent escort groups to develop and maintain expertise was being accepted, and greater emphasis given to A/S training. (3) Co-operation between RAF Coastal Command and Western Approaches Command was steadily improving. But there was still a long way to go, and vast areas of the Atlantic were without air or sea anti-U-boat cover.
Monthly Loss Summary
- 56 British, Allied and neutral ships of 287,000 tons in the Atlantic from all causes; 1 destroyer
- 1 German U-boat.
