<HTML> Good day Marcus!

Here are some more which relate to the Battle of the Atlantic.

\"If we strike a decisive blow at the trunk in the Bay, the branches will wither.\"

Air Marshal Slessor

\"The U-boat has no more to fear from aircraft than a mole from a crow.\"

Admiral Donitz
4 August 1942



\"To tell the truth , I haven\'t much hope. They will crush us in time.\"

Wilhelm Rahn
U-301, May 3 1943


This May the situation was quite out of hand: as I was soon to learn, the number of boats that failed to return from patrol reached 41, more than one a day, and there was talk of \"Black May.\"

Kapitanleutanant Peter \"Ali\" Cremer
U-boat HQ Staff, Berlin
