Put to sea from Lorient. |
| 25.11.41 |
08.10 |
Put the boat on the bottom 5 nm south of Cape Espartel. |
| |
|
West of Gibraltar absolutely no sea or air surveillance. |
| |
12.30 |
Proceeded 
in the Gibraltar Strait until east of Tangier. |
| 26.11.41 |
02.10 |
Broke through the Gibraltar Strait  .
Undetected. |
| |
|
Protection of the Strait: |
| |
|
West side at the level of Tangier and west therefrom 1 destroyer
back and forth. At the level of Tarifa 1 fishing trawler back
and forth. |
| |
|
East side 1 destroyer off the Rock of Gibraltar back and forth. |
| 26.11. - 04.12.41 |
Stationed in the northern half of CG 96 and CH 70. |
| 27.11.41 |
18.00 |
At the level of Alborán probably submerged enemy U-boat. |
| |
|
Absolutely no sea or air surveillance. Under the coast active
traffic of illuminated steamers with Spanish markings. Probably
among them also enemy ships with false markings. |
| |
|
Between Málaga and Gibraltar sparse enemy traffic close
under land determined. Morning departure observed. Due
to the proximity of Gibraltar could only sink one steamer. |
| |
|
Objective point for enemy ships coming from the east is apparently
Estepona, northeast of Gibraltar. |

20.33 |
Norwegian "FJORD" sunk. Square CG 9619. |
| |
|
On the prescribed French Route illuminated and marked French. |
| 04.12.41 |
|
Transit to the east. |
| |
|
The convoy expected from the west and the convoy assembling at
Gibraltar would likely have brought attack opportunities. |
| |
|
Distribution of a portion of incoming convoys to Spanish ports
is suspected. Outbound convoys also include such ships. Therefore
transit orders to the east at this time was unfortunate from our
narrow perspective |
