DDW a captain tale Part I
My attempt to create a story in the a different Dutch war timeline.
June 4 1946
Captain log ,
Kapitän zur See Conrad BeckerToday I have bin given the command of the Königsberg-Klasse light cruiser SMS Köln after here previous captain retired from service with the Kaiserliche Marine.
Before I was even truly settled down I receive my first orders from Marineoberkommando Nordsee to begin preparations for a 12 day north sea patrol with two destroyers under my command.
I have much confidence in my new crew and ship after only spending the first day aboard as here new captain.
June 14 1946
Preparations for the first patrol with the Köln under my command are complete , I plan to leave Wilhelmshaven and to begin my 12 day patrol with the destroyers SMS Z6 Theodor Riedel and SMS Z20 Karl Galster who will rendezvous with Köln several miles out of German waters on 15 of June.
