===========================================================================
 
1
Steamer, 2000 tons
Wind WNW 2-3, Sea 2-3, without MZ, depth 1.5 meters, range 300 meters
U-boat trap, text book stern shot, probably undershot.  There is the possibility that speed was misjudged this shot but this is unlikely.  After the shot the boat received four depth charges, two in the immediate vicinity, so that damage to the torpedoes must be expected.  Examination went without results.
 
2
Steamer, 3000 tons
Wind WNW 4, Sea 4, without MZ, depth 2 meters, range 350 meters.
 
3
Steamer, 3000 tons
Wind WNW 4, Sea 4, without MZ, depth 2 meters, range 300 meters.
 
4

Bottom runner after 2 minutes.  Very easy stern approach.

6
Steamer, 4000 tons
Wind NNW 1-2, Sea 1-2, without MZ, depth 3 meters, range 400-500 meters

Steamer, 5000 tons
Wind NNW 1-2, Sea 1-2, without MZ, depth 3 meters, range 400 meters.
    night attack.  G.7. jumped out of the water, depth run was influenced by AK run up to the shoot, additionally at the shot it seems, because the periscope was sighted due to high speed, the steamer turned away.
