Translation assistance required again for part of a KTB

Gentlemen,

I am in the process of finishing off the translation of a few pages of the KTB for the U-562 to finally (?) finish my research.

You can see the original KTB on my earlier post in this forum.

Once again, I have come across a few issues which I would like your assistance on.

The main one concerns many of the abbreviations in the KTB:

L.F
B.E.
G.H.G
B.D
H.F
G.F
NOzO
(MZ)
(AZ)
mot. (Alarm. 2 mot. Flugzeug mit ostl. Kurs)
Fu.M.B (Weider keine Ortung im Fu.M.B )
BB (BB-Sicherung und Verband)
F.T & F.d.U (F.T an F.d.U)

The only other things really are these words:

Ruckmarsch (u has the two dots)
Erbitte
Weider keine Ortung im Fu.M.B
Peilung
Achteres
Entfernung

On page 2 the second paragraph that begins Nach 5 mins 50 secs etc This one is important to me so an accurate translation of this would be most appreciated.

Geleitzug zackt nach Horchpeilung nach. Suden ab (u has the dots in Suden).

Lastly,in the Torpedo Report there is abbreviation that appears as:

1 frgl 2 Treffer Fehlschaub Versager etc

What is frgl please ?

Many many thanks in anticipation.

Andre
