Karl-Heinze Moehle, 
Commander, U-123
December, 1940

Our orders have been carried out successfully. I am glad to report that on the morning of 23 November, our U-boat decided to attack convoy OB-244 and in just five hours, we hit the bastards hard with five ships being sunk for a total of 23, 084 tons. The men are very glad, and we have been commended by the High Command. Although our submarine had collided with a sunken ship and we had to return to base, our task has been fulfilled. We shall continue to aim to sink more enemy tonnage.
