September 2, 1944, Gentleman, from my quick glances at the reports it has been a good month, sinking 71,200 tons of shipping, and 16 hulls and encouraging reports from the U-200 Zackenbarsch, which is still out on patrol. The first round tonight is on me. The second round will be supplied by the crew of the U-871 Kastengelee. The third, fourth and fifth rounds will be provided by KptLt Ludger Steinhausen of the U-871 who has been promoted to the rank of Korvettenkapitän and been awarded with the Knights Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords and the U-Boat Front Clasp in Bronze. The sixth and seventh rounds will be provided by KptLt Hans Schicklgruber of the U-219 who has been promoted to the rank of Korvettenkapitän and been awarded the U-Boat Front Clasp in Bronze. The eighth, ninth and tenth rounds will be supplied by KptLt Reinhard Geist of the U-842 who has been promoted to the rank of Korvettenkapitän and been awarded with the Knights Cross with Oak Leaves, Swords and Diamonds and the U-Boat Front Clasp in Silver. The last round will be provided by ObLtzS Gerold Rotsmann of the U-847 who has been awarded the Iron Cross 2nd class.
