hi,

Herbert Wohlfarth .. was .. Commander of .. U 556.

.. and had a very depressing experience : After a successful patrol in May, 1941, on the afternoon of May, 26, he got into firing position on the Royal Navy's Force H (including carrier ARK ROYAL before (!) she had launched the successful Swordfish attack against the BISMARCK) but could do nothing as he had expanded all his torpedoes before.

greetings, the pb
