The VIIb is available for use in all years. However, from 1943 onwards it will be slowly withdrawn from operational service as these U-Boote are either sunk or their Kommandanten complete their operational careers. |

Kommandant Kentrat! DANKE! FOR YOUR FINANCIAL HELP. MORE LIKE THIS IS NEEDED TO KEEP UP THE WAR! YOUR RANK (HERE: USER-LEVEL ON DEFF) HAS BEEN UPGRADED TO [--=|DEF|=-- Donator (http://www.donitzeliteflotilla.com/forum/index.php?action=groups;sa=members;group=14)]. AND DESERVEDLY SO! HEIL DEF! KARL DOENITZ |
| (https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/1b4a/gybrea3liefm1226g.jpg) | My beautiful Ingrid, Tonight we struck fear into the very heart of the enemy! As we silently entered Reykjavík Harbor, we spotted, and sank a massive US tanker, destined for the shores of England. The instant the 2nd torpedo struck, military vessels started to search for us, but to no avail my love, der wolf was already gone! The men needed this victory. I needed this blasted victory. Sohler already sent me a dreadful message about attacking a neutral party. He knows damn well that Doenitz, nor our glorious Führer would want all that fuel to reach England. I did what I did, and I stand by it. Yours forever, Eitel p.s. You know how Doenitz can get, my love...best you get some Gelbwurst from Das braune Schwein, and have it delivered to his office. |
| (https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/e933/mbt63r7bld78tv16g.jpg) | WE'VE BEEN HIT, WE'VE BEEN HIT!! No!! Captain? Captain!?! God no....FLOODING! WE ARE FLOODING! Captain!? Surface the boat, SURFACE THE BOAT!! As bootsmann Adelbert Leder looked at his captain, he saw the man come apart in front of him. Leder witnessed the moment his captain knew he had made a critical mistake in staying on the surface too long, and it had cost them their lives. Then Kentrat let out a visceral scream |
| (https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/a3cc/adlwb0fk5x53idq5g.jpg) | AUFTAUCHEN!!! AUFTAUCHEN!!! What Bootsmann Leder had mistaken for despair, turned out to be determination. At that very moment, Kentrat decided he would surface this U-boot, even if it meant he had to sacrifice every bolt and screw holding her together. And for just a moment, Bootsmann Leder and the others believed him. Suddenly a loud snapping sound of metal twisting and distorting, and for the first time Kentrat realized this was the snapping sound of his haunted dreams aboard U-74. Water came rushing into the control room, what was centimeters just minutes earlier, had turned into waist deep water. Kentrat knew at that very moment, 60 meters under the Denmark Strait, that no man, god or devil could save them. This would become their eternal home; the bottom of this cold, miserable ocean. Men everywhere were crying, screaming and praying. With the exception of Bootsmann Leder; he sat with his back against the bulkhead, holding a small framed picture, and to Kentrat's amazement, even now, Leder had a big smile on his face. He winked at Kentrat and yelled; "THAT SURE WAS GOOD POTATO VODKA, CAPTAIN!!". |
| (https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/b400/93xasqch9vg1nff6g.jpg) | The control room now resembled a twisted, dark amusement ride. Men were being washed away through the hatches, steel was buckling and diesel fumes filled the wet air. The last thing Kentrat saw was the bulkhead of the control room; though made of steel, it suddenly started to move...not tear, but ripple, like sand. Slowly swaying...He couldn't stop looking at it... Then it peeled away, instantly flooding the vessel, as U-74 sank into the abyss. (complete silence) Ingrid!! Ingrid?? my dearest...where are you? The water, it is receding! MEN!!! THE WATER IS RECEDING!!! Thank god we are saved! The rooms are draining of water, my dearest Ingrid! Otto? I hear Otto's voice? That can't be! he is dead! "The periscopes are fine Weinrich!! OTTO....THE PERISCOPES ARE FINE" I have to find him Ingrid, I have to tell Otto all will be fine. |
Bl!tz is so logical in his thinking...Maybe you should take that from me :) because what you have done here leaves us all puzzled.
