From Uboot Archive,

BDU KTB entry

U 109 entered Lorient, U 98 St. Nazaire.



The Commanding Officer of U 109 made his report: It was the boat's first patrol. The crew was almost entirely new. Result was a 7,000 GRT ammunition ship. The general impression made by the Commanding Officer was one of uncertainty and worry. The boat sank to a great depth during a depth-charge hunt and was only just saved by the presence of mind of an experienced Petty Officer who blew the tanks of his own accord without waiting for orders. There was already considerable doubt about the suitability of this Commanding Officer during his training and this doubt has been confirmed by this general conduct on this patrol. I have therefore found it necessary to relieve him at once.



Regards,

Mark
