<HTML>Hi Eberhard
English Translation:-

My U-boat men!
Six years of U-boat warfare lie behind us. you have fought like lions.
A crushing material superiority has compressed us into a very narrow area.
A continuation of the struggle is impossible from the bases that remain.
U-boat men, unbroken in your warlike courage, you are laying down your arms after an heroic fight that knows no equal.
in reverent memory we think of our comrades who have sealed their loyalty to the Fuhrer and the Fatherland with their death.
Comrades maintain in the future your U-boat spirit with which you have fought at sea bravely and unflinchingly during long years for the welfare of the Fatherland.
Long live Germany!

Best regards
Terry Andrews.</HTML>
